- Guess: Type any word and press Enter.
- Rank: The game provides a rank for your word. The secret word is always rank #1 . A rank of 10 means your word is the 10th closest word to the secret word based on the AI’s contextual analysis.
- Analyze: Use the ranks of your previous guesses (and the color coding: Green for close, Orange for warm, Pink for cold) to narrow down the correct context until you guess the rank #1 word.
