Every day, the online game Letroso picks a secret word of up to 10 letters Your task is to guess the secret word. Letroso will tell if your guess has any letters in common with the secret word, and if those letters within the secret word are adjacent, non adjacent, or are in the same order. Letroso will also tell you if you've correctly matched the beginning or ending letter of the word. Settings include Português, English, and Español.

I think that 4 is great compared to my 11. Tricky game, I like!

This is really interesting! One thing that makes it slightly less shareable than other similar games is that the share data when you win spoils some of the game.

Black screen on iPad. Maybe an influx of users crashed it?

Puzzmo! Great AV-club and bespoke crosswords. Good logic puzzles. And some really bad chess.

I entered most of a word that was too long, but when I try to backspace to correct it, it navigates me back to the title page.

I was going crazy with LETROSO until I looked at the directions again and found out that whether there's a black strip between the green letters is an important clue.

I've been playing this game and I'm pretty sure it's just because it makes me feel clever. I'm not proud of that!
I also play the connections one, but it does the opposite. It's either done in 4 guesses or 15 and two hints!
