Six on the Dial, a Word Game with a Cultural Memory

Field notes

The game combines a six-letter wheel with six target rows, accepting entries by typing or by selecting letters on the board. Extra words contribute to the score, and every three extras produce a hint; the visible interface also records ranks, completed boards, packs, and streaks. The site describes 118 hand-authored boards across 14 themes, with clues drawn from Black American cultural life. One displayed clue uses Eastern Carolina whole-hog barbecue as its subject.
