Word Guess
Four clue-driven words to a round, each solved from a bank of letters that holds everything the answer needs plus some it does not. Tap a letter to place every copy of it at once. Harder rounds use subtler clues and bury the answer in more spare letters.
How it works
- Solve four clue-driven words to complete the round.
- The bank contains every letter used by the answer, plus some unused letters.
- Tap a letter to reveal every place it occurs in the answer.
- An unused letter counts towards the round's six-mistake limit.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- A word puzzle you can finish in a few minutes
- Clues rather than a blank grid
- Writing your own clues for someone else
