One secret word.
Six pings.
No positions.

Every day, the same word for everyone. Each ping, Zomu answers with a single number: how many letters you share. Never which, never where. Your job is to triangulate.

The rule

One number per ping. Nothing else.

The secret word has all-different letters — so must your guesses. The number returned counts the letters present in the secret word, whatever their position.

Hot. One letter to swap.
PLAGE→ 5
Found on ping 5.

The heat scale

From cyan to coral, then mint.

0 lettersNo letter of the word: rule them all out.

ColdOne common letter, somewhere.

CoolYou're onto something.

WarmMost letters are in.

HotOne letter to swap.

FoundAll letters, in order.

Help mode (optional): present and absent letters get coloured on the keyboard. Sharing says so, honestly.

The ritual

Before midnight, every day.

A streak to keep, freezes for forgotten days, a calendar to replay past words — not counted in your stats. And an emoji share, spoiler-free.
