Shrinkle

How to play

Guess today's therapy word in six tries. It's 4, 5 or 6 letters, and the length changes every day.

Green: right letter, right spot.

G

F

Gold: in the word, somewhere else.

C

H

Grey: not in the word.

Guesses must be real words. After two guesses, Hint shows the category, then something a client might say. Hints show in your shared result.

When you finish, you get a short card about the idea behind the word, and you can see how everyone else went. A new word arrives at midnight.

Out of hints? Share Shrinkle and get a bonus clue every day for the next 5 days, or send it to a friend and you both get one.

Some guesses get a reply from the therapist. Collect them all in Statistics, and keep an eye out: a few words hide a surprise.

Supervision mode
For experts. No hints, and letters you've found must be used in every later guess. If you've already guessed today, it starts with your next word.
