How this Word Guess Game works
Unlike a spelling puzzle, each attempt is measured by semantic similarity. Words can look different and still be close when their meanings or contexts are related.
- 01
Enter a connected word
Begin with a broad person, place, object, action, or idea that might connect to the secret word.
- 02
Use the rank as feedback
A lower number means a closer meaning. Green results are warm, while red results suggest a new direction.
- 03
Find rank #1
Compare your closest guesses, reveal a clue when needed, and narrow the idea until you reach the answer.
