Solving

• A 5-letter word is hiding in the boxes below the field. Boxes with a letter already in them are given to you; empty boxes are the ones you need to fill, left to right.
• Every green field tile shows a letter. Tap the ones you think hold the right letters, filling the empty boxes left to right as you go.
• Once every box has a letter in it, the whole word checks itself: boxes that are exactly right turn green and lock in for good. Any box that's wrong just clears back to empty so you can try again.
• Any letter confirmed to not be needed anywhere in the word gets struck through and deactivated on the field — every tile showing that letter, not just the one you tried. You won't have to remember it yourself. A letter that's simply in the wrong spot stays exactly as it was — it may still be needed for one of the other blanks.
• Some green tiles show a letter this word doesn't need at all — they look exactly the same as the tiles that are needed. There's no visual tell; you have to reason it out (or take an educated guess) from what's already filled in.
• Tapped the wrong tile? ⌫, on the right of the letter boxes, undoes just your most recent click. Clear resets the whole word's progress instead, including any letters you'd already locked in.
• Truly stuck on a word? ⏭, on the left, skips it for a fresh one — no penalty, but nothing gets revealed for a skipped word either, so it's not a shortcut to finishing faster, just a way to stop grinding on one you can't see.
• Nothing on the field changes until you finish the whole word — then it redraws with a fresh word and fresh letters.

Solving the Picture

• Tap Solve anytime it's available to try naming the picture from a few choices. You get 3 tries per picture — a wrong one doesn't end the round.
• Solving it correctly ends the round right away and shows the full picture on the results screen.
• When Solve turns gold and says "Last Chance!", it's about to lock — one more word solved and the window closes.
• Once locked (or you're out of tries), the button becomes END — tap it to jump straight to results without finishing every tile.

Scoring & Streaks

• Solving the picture scores a percentage — the earlier you solve it, the higher it is, with a bonus for especially early solves.
• Words tracks something different: the percentage of words you got exactly right on your first try, no do-overs. It's about word-solving accuracy, not picture-guessing speed.
• Finishing without ever solving the picture, or hitting END without solving it, breaks your streak. Your current and best streak (shared across every difficulty level) show on every results screen.

Themes & Difficulty

• Tap Theme to choose which picture collections you're solving from — pick as many as you like, or leave all of them checked. Every round draws from whatever's currently selected, but the multiple-choice guesses for any one picture only ever come from that picture's own collection.
• The difficulty dropdown up top changes board size, blank count, and how much distracting noise is on the field — it doesn't make the pictures easier or harder to recognize.

Press START when you're ready.

• A 5-letter word is missing 1-3 letters. Empty boxes below the field are what you need to fill, left to right.
• Tap the field tile you think holds the next letter you need — get it right and the box fills in.
• Solve the whole word and the field redraws for the next one, slowly revealing a hidden picture!

That's the basics — tap the ? in the corner anytime for more detail.
