🥚 Egg is a sign that you missed to heed a previously revealed clue. It could be either a name clue (highlighted letters) or attribute match 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, lesser you score even if you win.

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 an egg for that. Blue letters are colder and you are supposed to go warmer/higher/later (towards Z).

• Level 1 - Practice level - max 10 eggs
• Level 2 - Challenge level - max 7 eggs
• Level 3 - Precision level - max 3 eggs
• Level 4 - Pro level - max 1 egg
• Level 5 - SuperPro level - no eggs
