How to Play
Objective Be the first player to correctly guess the secret word your opponent created while using fewer or better clue resources than they do. Setup Give each player access to the letter tiles and a set of clue cards. Randomly draw or arrange tiles according to the game rules, then each player secretly forms a word for the opponent to guess. Turn Structure Each player secretly builds a word from available letter tiles. On your turn, spend clue cards or take clue actions to learn information about your opponent's word. Use the clues to narrow down letters, positions, and possible word structure. You may make a guess when you think you know the opponent's word. Play continues back and forth until a player guesses correctly or the game reaches its scoring/end condition. End of Game The game ends when a player correctly identifies the opponent's secret word, typically with scoring or comparison based on clue usage determining the winner if needed. Notes This is a lightweight word-deduction game designed specifically for 2 players. Exact clue actions may vary by edition, but the core play is secret word creation, clue gathering, and guessing.
