How to play
A game has five rounds. In each one, every player independently searches for the same common five-letter English word.
You have 90 seconds and no more than six guesses per round. Only real dictionary words are accepted: exactly five English letters; uppercase and lowercase count as the same letters. Words outside the dictionary are rejected without using a guess. An accepted guess cannot be changed.
After every guess, the app separately marks letters in the exact spot, letters elsewhere in the answer, and letters that are absent.
A repeated letter is marked as present only as many times as it occurs in the answer; extra copies are marked absent.
Only you can see your guesses and marks before the reveal. Play independently: do not use search, dictionaries, other screens, or hints outside the app.
The round reveals when every player has solved the word or used all six guesses, or when 90 seconds expire. A missed or unsolved word earns 0 points.
Solving on guess one, two, three, four, five, or six earns 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, or 100 points respectively. The earliest solve earns 200 more; if several players share the exact earliest time, each receives the bonus.
The reveal shows the word, guesses, and points. After round five, the highest total wins; players tied for the lead share the win.
Now bring the group together.
