Four wheels. Each carries a few letters. One word
opens the lock.
Drag a wheel with your finger, flick it, or tap the arrows. On a
keyboard use the arrow keys, or type a letter to jump straight to it.
Press OPEN when you like your word.
Stuck? HINT gives you the next letter, left to
right. The last letter is always yours to find, and hints show up on
your score.
Basic is a four letter word, six letters per
wheel, eight tries. Wheels in the correct spot turn green and lock in place.
Hard is six, seven or eight letters, and tells
you nothing at all. Five tries. You do not need feedback anyway: only one
real word can be spelled on these wheels, so it is a matter of reading
them properly.
Run out of tries and the lock seizes until
midnight. It will have something to say about that.
New lock every day. Missed one? The archive is open.
