Find the correct word before your opponents by carefully analyzing the clues and making logical guesses. Up to 9 Clue cards of different types are used to reveal letters of the word. The type of clue you get depends on the color of the card.

During each round, take notes of the clue on your player board and make guesses by cross-referencing it with the previous ones. The fewer clues you need to find the correct word, the more points you score, but don’t be too greedy or you might not win anything at all!

You can adapt the difficulty of the game by using a different number of Clue card of each type.
