Tips to solve in fewer clues

  1. 1
    Bank letters, not just answers

    Early guesses that test common letters (E, A, R, T, S, L) feed the color system more information than a wild stab at the answer.

  2. 2
    Re-read the clues after each reveal

    Clues stack - a clue that meant nothing alone often clicks once you see it next to the next one.

  3. 3
    Think double meanings

    The official how-to literally says it: clues lean on second senses of common words.

  4. 4
    Save the hints for a real wall

    The optional hints below the game mark your round as assisted - use them after guess three or four, not at clue one.
