Pixletters

Here the clues come from how letters are drawn, not from where they sit. Each guess colors pixels of the hidden letters, and you rebuild the word from their shapes.

Pixel colors

Color	Meaning
Blue	The letter in this spot is correct
Green	The hidden letter must have this pixel
Red	The hidden letter must not have this pixel
Grey	Not known yet

Blue is the only color that confirms a whole letter.

A new way to think about letters

Most word games ask which letters are in the word. Pixletters asks what the letters look like. After a couple of guesses you might know that the second letter has a pixel in the top left corner and none in the middle of the top row. Few letters fit that shape, which is why five tries is enough.

Before you start Pixletters

Think in shapes. A green pixel in a corner rules out every letter whose drawing leaves that corner empty.
Write the possible letters for each spot, then cross them off as rows are revealed.
In PLUS mode, follow the arrows. Pixels are revealed by row or by column.

Playing Pixletters step by step

Guess a word
Type any valid 5 letter word.
Spot blue
Blue pixels mean the letter in that spot is right.
Read green and red
For a wrong letter, the top row lights up. Green means the hidden letter must have that pixel. Red means it must not.
Uncover more rows
Each new guess colors another row of pixels. Grey pixels are still unknown.
