• Submit your first guess (for example - Twenty One).
• Check #Letters, Last Letter and #Words attributes to see what matched (=) and what didn't (≠). Use these for deductions.
• Also check revealed color of your guess.
  If it's Red, guess a alphabetically lower name.
  If it's Blue, guess a alphabetically higher name.
  If first few letters are Green, those are correct starting letters. Guess another name that starts with the same green letters.
  Gray letters provide no other clues.
  The exact match is found between the "hot" (red) and "cold" (blue) clues.

  Red is hot, go colder - move toward the beginning of the alphabet (towards A).

  Blue is cold, go warmer - move toward the end of the alphabet (towards Z).
• Refine your guess using revealed match clues.
• Repeat (until correct Number Word is identified).

🥚 The Egg indicates you missed a previously revealed clue.

There is a max limit on how many Eggs you can have before you lose in each level. Try to make the most of the clues - avoid getting many Eggs. More Eggs you get, the lower your score, even if you win.

It could be either a name clue (color highlighted letters) or attribute match clue that you missed. For example, if first letter of the name you guessed is highlighted blue M and your next guess starts with G, then you'll get the Egg for this error. Blue letters are colder - you should move toward the end of the alphabet (towards Z) for next guess.

• Level 1 - Practice Level - max 7 Eggs
• Level 2 - Challenge Level - max 5 Eggs
• Level 3 - Precision level - max 3 Eggs
• Level 4 - Pro level - max 1 Egg
• Level 5 - Superpro Level - no Eggs
