Kenning Word Guess

Kenning is an old trick of poets: name a thing by linking two others. Here the links are boards. Every word you crack hands its locked letters to the next one, from a lamplit ink room down to a hall of mirrors where two words hide at once.

Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries from colour clues. Solve with guesses to spare and your letters carry into the next board.

Type a word of the board's length and press Enter. Each tile then shows a colour: green with a bar means the letter is in that place, amber with a dot means the word has that letter somewhere else, and grey means the letter is not in the word. You have six guesses on a normal board. In Chapters and Endless, boards are linked: when you solve one, you keep one letter for every guess you had left (up to the board's limit), taken from the letters you locked green first. They start the next board already in place, and the next hidden word is chosen to fit them, so a quick solve makes the next board easier. Every solved board in a row raises the points the next one pays. Losing a board breaks the chain. Chapters add a rule each: six-letter words, fog that hides one tile's colour per row, a keyboard with missing letters, and two words at once where every guess plays on both. Classic is a single word, and the daily word is the same for everyone each day.
