About Letter Quest
A word puzzle solved by deduction. You have six attempts to find a hidden word, and every guess is marked back: a letter that is correct and in the right place, a letter that is in the word but somewhere else, or a letter that is not there at all. Because each guess both tests an answer and gathers information, the interesting choices are the ones where those pull apart — spending an attempt on a word you already know is wrong, in order to rule several letters in or out at once.
How to Play
Type a valid word as your guess. Read the coloured tiles. One colour means the letter is correct and in the right position; another means it is in the word but elsewhere; the rest are not in the word. Use what each guess tells you to narrow down the possibilities. Find the word within six attempts.
Good to know
Needs a keyboard to be comfortable, so this one is better on a desktop than a phone. Rounds are short and there is no timer, which makes it a good one to do once and leave. No sound required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good first guess?
A real word with several common letters and no repeats. The first guess is worth more for what it rules out than for the chance of being right, and repeating a letter wastes one of its own slots.
How many attempts do I get?
Six. That is enough for roughly two information-gathering guesses before you have to commit.
What happens if I do not get it?
The round ends and the word is shown. There is no penalty and a new word is available straight away.
