SHABAASH! 👏

Enter a valid word and press Enter.

✓ score: number of letters that are correct and already in the correct position.

× score: number of letters that are correct but in the wrong position.

Example:

This means 1 letter is correct and correctly placed, and 2 letters are correct but misplaced.

Each letter is counted only once per guess.

Use both scores together to refine your next guess.

All help features are optional. You can use them, or solve the puzzle without assistance.

Clues: available only in Challenge mode. There are 2 optional clue levels that unlock as the game progresses.

Hints: long-press the ✓ or × score box to reveal a hint letter. Practice mode has unlimited hints. Challenge mode allows 2 hints for 4-letter games and 3 hints for 5-letter games.

Keyboard cross-out: auto cross-out happens when a guess scores 0–0. Manual cross-out is your own note — long-press any key to cross it out, and long-press again to restore it.

Tap the timer display at any time to pause it. The timer turns amber and shows ⏸ to indicate it is paused. Tap again to resume. The paused state is saved — but the timer does not resume automatically when you reopen the app. To continue timing, tap the timer or enter a guess. Times over one hour display as H:MM:SS.

Shabaash (शाबाश) is a Hindi expression meaning “Well done!” or “Bravo!”.

The name also echoes two Hindi words: shabad (शब्द), meaning word, and akshar (अक्षर), meaning letter.

In the game, players use logic and letters to discover the hidden word.
