Game Play

How it Works

This is the name your players will try to guess. While a game board only allows 6 tries, players can replay as many times as they'd like until they win.

(Min: 4, Max: 10)

This determines the name length players can guess. Player's can guess any name that fits on the board. When a name with the correct length is guessed, remaining guessable rows will reduce to the correct name length.

Board Length Examples:

4-Letter Board
A
L
E
X

Must guess exactly "ALEX"

6-Letter Board
A
L
E
X

Can guess "ALEXIS", "Caleb", etc.

Understanding the color-coded feedback system

A
A

Blue / Pink = Correct Letter, Correct Position

This letter is in the secret name and in the right spot!

B

Orange = Correct Letter, Wrong Position

This letter is in the secret name but in a different position.

C

Grey = Letter Not in Name

This letter is not in the secret name at all.

Example Game Play

Let's say the secret name is "ALEX" on a 6-letter board:

Guess 1:
A
L
I
C
E

Result: A and L are in the name and in the right spot. E is in the name but wrong position (orange)

Guess 2:
A
L
E
X

Result: Perfect match! All letters correct (blue/pink)
