Click a letter on the keyboard or press it on your physical keyboard. Correct guesses reveal tiles; wrong ones draw the gallows figure.
Use Hints Wisely
Each round gives you 3 hint charges. Hints reveal a random missing letter in cyan. Press H or click the Hint button. Hints slightly reduce SR gain.

SR Rating System
Your Skill Rating starts at 100. Win → SR goes up. Lose → SR drops. As SR climbs you unlock harder tiers with longer, rarer words and fewer hints.
Build Streaks
Win consecutive rounds to grow your streak counter. Higher streaks multiply your SR gain — the longer the streak, the bigger the reward per win.
AI Word Topics
Choose a theme like animals, science, or space. The AI generates fresh, unusual words in that category — every session feels different.

Your SR, wins, losses, win rate and best streak are saved locally in your browser. No account needed — just close and return any time.
