alphaguess: a word game

Guess the word of the day. Guesses reveal where the word is positioned alphabetically. Everyone plays the same word each day.

I couldn’t get Pip on difficult mode today, I could only see the first 6 dominoes 👎🏻👎🏻There was no way to scroll to see any more. That was on the app.

PIP is irritating me - it doesn't conform to normal domino rules!
I will try later after a second cup of tea!

Peridot1 · 21/08/2025 08:10

Guided here after Pips was mentioned on the Strands thread. Just tried the easy one so far today. Took me a bit of time to figure it out.
