Guessing Game: ********

Editor’s Note: Heyooo still trying that new approach to WordroW hints: instead of being the title of the article, clues will now be in the Info/Start message. To see the clue again, just tap the circled i icon in the upper right corner. At least for now, titles will be asterisks that represent the letters you’re guessing, but the clue will be in the URL. Let us know what you think in the comments! Seriously, I really care about your little puzzle solving experience okay?!

      • I had a similar experience… is it possible to increase the number of possible guesses for really long words like this one? I felt like I came perilously close to running out and still had tons of letters I couldn’t figure out what to do with!

    • ^^ great suggestion. or maybe stick with like <6 letters or less per word as a general rule? i just do not have that many long words banked in my head! happy to report i did get this one immediately after googling 'tessa thompson movies'

  3. Hi there! I’ve been wanting to dive into some online leisure activities, particularly color prediction games, but I’m having difficulty finding ones that capture my interest. Any tips on where I can find some enjoyable platforms to explore?//
