The game starts with a hidden word, showing a dash for each hidden letter within the word. Your score starts at 100 points but it goes down! Each letter guessed after the initial guess decreases your score by 10 points. When your score reaches zero, the game is over!
For the initial guess, you must guess five unique letters, one of which must be a vowel. If any of the guessed letters are in the word, they are displayed.
For each guess after the initial guess, you must guess individual letters using the letters grid that is displayed on the gameboard. If a guessed letter is in the word, all instances of it in the word are displayed. Once a letter is guessed, its corresponding key on the letter grid is disabled.
Once you believe that you are ready to guess the word, press the "Solve!" button at the bottom of the screen and input your answer. If you correctly guess the word, or if you happen to completely uncover it by guessing individual letters, the correct word is displayed and you are awarded 50 points. A new hidden word is then displayed and guessing starts over.
At the point that your score shows zero or less, the game is over! How many words will you get before your score runs out?!?
