How to play
- The grid. A 5×5 board where every row and every column reads as a real five-letter word — ten words in total.
- Fixed cells. A few cells are pre-filled with a different colour. They cannot be moved. They're the scaffolding.
- Swap to solve. The other letters are scrambled. Drag any non-fixed letter onto another non-fixed cell to swap them.
- Lock in. When a row or column matches its solution, the whole line locks (turns green). Locked cells can't move.
- Win. Lock all rows and columns. The faster and the fewer moves, the better your leaderboard placement.
Hint and Give up
The Hint button reveals one cell at a time; uses a hint counter on your scoreboard. Give up shows the solution but counts as abandoned (no leaderboard entry).
Daily cadence
Difficulty ramps over the week — Monday's puzzle is easiest, Sunday's hardest, with the days in between graded smoothly between them. Themes (when present) bias the word list; the puzzle is still solvable without knowing the theme.
Sharing
The "Copy share text" button after solving copies a short summary plus an emoji grid showing how your solve unfolded across the board. Each cell is colored by when its row or column first locked (fastest 🟩, then 🟦 🟨 🟧 🟥; 🔒 marks fixed cells).
