Letters


Letters is a word guessing game for two. How many tries do you need to find the right letters? Can you guess the word first?


Game Objective

Both players submit words in turns. For each word the letters that are correct will be marked. Whoever enters the searched word first, wins the game.


Gameplay

You play in turns.
TapClick on a letter on the keyboard at the bottom to select it. You can also use drag and drop. A tapclick on a chosen letter will remove it again. When you entered a word that uses all letters, you can submit it.
If your word is invalid, it will be marked red and you have to try another word.
If your word is valid, it will reveal how close you are.

The colors of letters show, how close you are to the solution.

  • Green: This letter is correct and it is in the correct spot!
  • Yellow: This letter is part of the solution but it is not in the right spot.
  • Dark: This letter is not part of the solution.

Try to get closer and closer with every try!

Once in a match you can hide your guess, so your opponent cannot see it. You will be asked after you submitted your word. Hide words that reveal a lot of information about the solution!


End of Game

All your letters are green? Congratulations, you guessed the word and win the game!


Revenge

The starting player alternates for every match to keep it fair for everyone.


Letters as a puzzle

In this section the differences between puzzle and normal game are explained. If you do not know how to play the game, please check the explanaition above first.

Puzzles are played without opponents. So there is no need to hide a move. Try to guess the word with as few tries as possible. The puzzle words have 6 letters, instead of the normal 5. You can use a maximum of 11 tries to solve it, otherwise it counts as unsolved.

Puzzles have a timer! In the upper middle of the screen is displayed how much time is left. If you run out of time the puzzle counts as not solved.

With every retry you get a new puzzle. Also every participant gets their own random puzzle.

After solving the puzzle a copy button will appear in the lower screen. Tap it to copy your tries to the clipboard. You can then paste it in the puzzle chat to share with others.

Enjoy the puzzle!
