How to Play Steps
Solve five words in order: 3 letters, then 4, 5, 6, and finally 7. You must solve each word before moving to the next. The word you're currently working on is outlined in orange.
- Tap a letter to place it in the next empty slot of the word you're working on — you only need to fill the blanks, never retype a letter that's already confirmed. Tap a filled slot to remove it.
- The Guess button appears once you've filled every slot with a real English word.
- Green — right letter, right spot.
- Yellow — right letter, wrong spot. Shows up as a small yellow box under the word.
- Black key — not used anywhere in this puzzle. A key turns green the moment a letter is known to be used somewhere, even in a word you haven't reached yet.
- Letters you uncover reveal or hint at letters in every word ahead of the one you're solving — watch for small yellow boxes under each word.
- A wrong guess only costs a strike if it doesn't turn up any letter you didn't already know was correct — finding a new letter, even in the wrong spot, is never penalized, but reusing letters you already know won't save you.
- Guessing the same word twice for the same step never costs a strike — you'll just be told you already tried it.
- You have 5 strikes for the whole puzzle. Solving a word carries your unused strikes into the next one, but you don't get extras. Run out and the puzzle ends, revealing every remaining word.

That is not a valid word
Already guessed
You've already tried that word for this one — no strike, but give it another.
