How to play

  1. Everyone gets the same hidden five letter word, and six guesses each to find it.
  2. Type a real five letter word and hit Enter. Green means right letter, right place. Yellow means right letter, wrong place. Grey means it is not in the word at all.
  3. The big screen shows everybody's colours as they go, but never the words, so you can see who is close without being handed it.
  4. Crack it early for more points, and the first one home gets a bonus. Best total after the last word wins.
