Field notes
The page describes a two-stage deduction loop: test candidate words, then sort five different words as a proof. Scoring rewards using fewer tests, but a failed proof adds two points and ten ends the game. Its rules are limited to spelling rather than meaning, and the page specifies that Y counts as a consonant. It also lists weekday-based difficulty levels and links to two other daily games, Wrongly and Predictably.
