Clue Letter
A game that challenges your vocabulary skills. There are four hidden 5-letter words located on the sides of a square grid. At the start, the letters are scrambled, but each one has color hints indicating which word it belongs to. Your mission is to swap the letters to uncover the words.
How to Play
In Clue Letter, you have a square grid where each side contains 5 letters. The letters are initially scrambled, and your goal is to swap them to form the 4 hidden words.
The hidden words are interconnected, sharing the corner letters. For example, the last letter of the top word is also the first letter of the right-side word.
Color Hints
Each side of the grid is identified by a color:
- Top side: blue
- Right side: red
- Bottom side: purple
- Left side: green
Each letter has colored borders indicating which word(s) it belongs to. For example, if a letter is part of both the blue and purple words, it will have those two colors on its borders.
When you complete a word correctly, its borders turn black, and the letters become locked in place.
The goal is to complete all 4 words using the fewest swaps and in the shortest time possible.
