How to play
One case a day. Crack the hidden 4-letter word, then shift it into the target — one letter at a time. No timer, no guess limit.
1 Lock — deduce the word
Guess any real 4-letter word. Each guess returns two clues:
Exact — right letter, right spot
Misplaced — right letter, wrong spot
Say the hidden word is NEST and you guess SENT:
SENT2 exact (E, T) · 2 misplaced (S, N)
Keep guessing until all four are exact.
The keyboard helps when it's certain: a key turns gold once a letter is confirmed in the word, and fades when a letter is confirmed not in it. Letters it can't yet prove stay neutral.
2 Shift — reach the target
Turn your cracked word into the day's target, changing one letter per turn — and every turn must be a real word.
