• Black letters reveal no clues. You can ignore them.
• Correct USA State/Territory is revealed after 7th try (or if you lose or match or give up early).

• Type first 3 letters (4 letters in Pro/Superpro mode) of the guessed name. Don't type more than 7 letters if you want to use matching names list feature.
• Wait for the dropdown list of matching names to appear - don't submit yet. It typically takes less than a second, or a few seconds at most. If matching names list doesn't appear, try first 3 letters (4 if pro/superpro) of another name/spelling.
• Choose a name from the matching names list. Then hit Submit button.
• If matching names list doesn't appear for the letters you typed, it indicates no matching name was found. In that case, please try a different spelling or another name. Our database is constantly growing; some names may be missing temporarily.

🥚 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
