The Grimoire

Halt, word-wielder! This ancient tome has sealed a fantasy word between its pages. Propose real words, decipher the glowing runes and break the seal. Take as many tries as you need: the Grimoire is patient, it has been waiting for centuries.

Opening the grimoire…

How to play

  1. Choose the number of letters: 5, 6 or 7. That is the length of the hidden word.
  2. Propose a word with exactly that many letters. It must be a real, correctly spelled word, or the Grimoire refuses it (it is a stickler for spelling).
  3. Letters in the right place glow green. Letters that are in the word but in the wrong place are circled in yellow.
  4. A letter is never highlighted more times than it appears in the hidden word.
  5. Accents do not matter: é, è and e are the same rune.
  6. Stuck? Reveal the word to see the solution and start a new quest with a fresh word.

Example

The hidden word is DRAGON and you propose GOBLIN:

G
O
B
L
I
N

G and O are in DRAGON but misplaced, N is exactly where it belongs, and B, L and I are not in the word at all.
