      • Green indicates that the letter is in the correct spot.
      • Yellow indicates that the letter is part of the word but is placed incorrectly.

      • Current streak
      • Best streak
    • The streak represents the number of remaining attempts you have. This indicates how fast it took for you to guess the word.
  • Tips
    • Valid words
      • Each word you enter must be a valid word, and must contain the number of letters shown.
      • Typically plural terms and names do not count as valid words.
    • Known unknowns
      • Since there are fewer vowels than consonants it is best to use vowel heavy words early to get a good sense of the word structure.
      • If you know a few letters early it does not mean you have to use those letters in subsequent attempts. In many cases it is best to use letters that have not yet been used (or even those you know that are not correct) to create valid words which help you explore the status of many other letters.
      • If it feels like you are stuck don’t forget to consider repeating a letter that has already been used in the word in another position. Some words in the puzzle repeat letters.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like guess the word games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
