Three colours.
That's the whole game.
Every level is one word. You get one more try than the word has letters, up to six, and every guess turns the tiles.
G
G is in the word, but somewhere else.
A
A is not in the word at all.
Stuck? Watch a short ad, get a letter. Three per word, then you're on your own.

What you get.
Level after level
Clear one and the next opens straight away. Play a single word on the bus or twenty on a Sunday afternoon, and pick it up again exactly where you stopped.
The words get longer
You start on four letters and climb. Higher levels mean longer words and tighter margins: one more guess than the word has letters, up to six.
Ranks worth arguing about
A leaderboard per language, this week and all time. Ten points for every guess you saved, and a podium that settles who is actually good at this.
A room for every league
Chat with the people playing your language right now. Argue about the word, complain about the word, brag about the word.
Stuck? Take a hint
Watch a short ad and a letter drops into its correct spot. Up to three per word: enough to save a streak, not enough to play it for you.
Pick a language
Each one keeps its own level, its own streak and its own ladder to climb.
Climb the ranks
This week and all time, per language. Ten points for every guess you didn't need.
Talk about it
A room per language, full of people grinding the same levels you are.
Questions.
What does Igama mean?
Word, or name, in isiZulu and isiXhosa. It is also five letters, which helped.
How many levels can I play?
As many as you like. Every language is a ladder, and clearing a level opens the next one immediately.
Which languages can I play right now?
Tsotsitaal, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans and English. Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, Xitsonga, siSwati, Tshivenda and isiNdebele are being built, and new languages arrive without you having to update the app.
How many guesses do I get?
One more than the word has letters, up to six. A four-letter word gives you five tries; everything longer gives you six.
Do I need an account?
Not to play. Signing in is what unlocks the leaderboard and the chat rooms, and it is what keeps your levels and streaks if you change phones.
Is it free?
Yes. Hints are paid for with a short ad, and nothing else is behind a wall.
Your next word
is waiting.
Free, and as many levels as you feel like. No account needed to play. Sign in when you want the leaderboard and the chat rooms.
