  1. Read the first clue

    Every word puzzle starts with a gentle clue. It narrows the field without giving the answer away.

  2. Type a five-letter word

    Any real word works. When the fifth letter goes in, the guess checks itself: there is no Enter key.

  3. Read the colours

    Green means the right letter in the right spot. Amber means the letter is in the word but somewhere else. Grey means it is not in the word. Repeated letters only light up as often as they appear.

  4. Ask for one more clue

    Stuck? Tap the lightbulb. You can reveal up to two extra clues, one at a time, and they never cost a guess.

  5. Earn three stars

    One star for solving, one for solving in four guesses or fewer, and one for solving without extra clues.

  6. Sort the groups

    In Groups you see sixteen words. Tap four that share a hidden link; they are checked automatically. Find all four groups before you make four mistakes.
