Differences in Difficulty

Compared to some other games, there is a difference in what is considered a valid attempt.

Valid Attempt

For the EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD difficulties, any attempt of the selected length is valid. For the other difficulties, only those attempts that actually exist in our word database are considered valid.

Examples

  1. Category: Car Brands
    • Guessed word: AUDI
    • Attempt: MALI (country)
    • Evaluation:
      • EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD: valid attempt, because it is not checked whether the word belongs to the group
      • EXTREME, WIZARD, IMPOSSIBLE: invalid attempt, because the word belongs to the category of countries, not car brands
  2. Category: Everything
    • Guessed word: AUDI
    • Attempt: MALI (country)
    • Evaluation:
      • EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD: valid attempt, because it is not checked whether the word belongs to the group
      • EXTREME, WIZARD, IMPOSSIBLE: valid attempt, because the word belongs to the group of categories being guessed. In this case, all categories
  3. Category: Everything
    • Guessed word: AUDI
    • Attempt: MAMA (mom)
    • Evaluation:
      • EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD: valid attempt, because it is not checked whether the word belongs to the group
      • EXTREME, WIZARD, IMPOSSIBLE: invalid attempt, because although the word exists in the language, it is not in our database of words that can be guessed
