SHABAASH! 👏

Enter a valid word and press Enter.

✓ score: number of letters that are correct and already in the correct position.

× score: number of letters that are correct but in the wrong position.

Example:

This means 1 letter is correct and correctly placed, and 2 letters are correct but misplaced.

Each letter is counted only once per guess.

Use both scores together to refine your next guess.

All help features are optional. You can use them, or solve the puzzle without assistance.

Clues: available only in Challenge mode. There are 2 optional clue levels that unlock as the game progresses.

Hints: available only in Practice mode. Long-press the ✓ or × score box to reveal a hint letter.

Keyboard cross-out: two types of cross-out help you track eliminated letters.

Auto cross-out: when a guess scores 0–0, all its letters are automatically crossed out in dark grey on the keyboard. These letters are still available to type — useful for deliberate elimination guesses — but cannot be restored.

Manual cross-out: long-press any keyboard letter to cross it out as your own note. Long-press again to restore it.

Tap the timer display at any time to pause it. The timer turns amber and shows ⏸ to indicate it is paused. Tap again to resume. The paused state is saved — but the timer does not resume automatically when you reopen the app. To continue timing, tap the timer or enter a guess. Times over one hour display as H:MM:SS.

Shabaash (शाबाश) is a Hindi expression meaning “Well done!” or “Bravo!”.

The name also echoes two Hindi words: shabad (शब्द), meaning word, and akshar (अक्षर), meaning letter.

In the game, players use logic and letters to discover the hidden word.
