This example shows the phrase "Chase Tail" mid-solve: CHASE and TAIL cross and share their A, the same way real puzzles let words overlap. Notice the stray A in the bottom-right corner - it's just a decoy that happens to share a letter with the real answer.

  1. Title & Score - lower score is better.
  2. Today's clue - a hint about the hidden phrase.
  3. Phrase progress - fills in as you find each letter.
  4. Letter keys - tap a letter here first (Step 1).
  5. The grid - then tap the revealed letter here to confirm it (Step 2).

Step 1 - Pick a Letter

Tap any letter A-Z below the grid. Every spot that letter appears on the board lights up.

A
Not picked yet
A
Correct pick
A
Not in the phrase

Step 2 - Tap the Right Spots

Once a letter is revealed on the grid, tap the actual spots that spell out the phrase.

A
Hidden
A
Revealed
A
Correct spot
A
Wrong spot

A tap only turns wrong-colored if that exact cell isn't part of the answer - the same letter can show up elsewhere on the board without being part of the phrase.

Diagonal Words

Words aren't always straight across or straight down - some run diagonally through the grid, corner to corner. Keep an eye out for a line of revealed letters running at an angle, and tap it the same way you would any other word.

Z
I
G

Here, "ZIG" runs from the top-left corner down to the bottom-right. Diagonal words can run either direction - top-left to bottom-right, or top-right to bottom-left.

Winning

Reveal and correctly tap every letter of the hidden phrase to win - the board turns fully green.

A
Solved!

Share Your Win

Solving the puzzle brings up a celebration screen with your score - tap SHARE to challenge a friend to beat it. On most phones this opens your phone's normal share menu; on a computer it copies a challenge message to your clipboard instead.

Challenge a friend

Want to look at your solved board again first? Tap "Back to Board" on the celebration screen - the HINT key turns into a SHARE key so you can jump straight back whenever you're ready.

Score & Hints

Lower score is better. You get a point for every wrong pick - a letter that isn't in the phrase, or the right letter in the wrong spot - and a point for every hint you use.
