Word Clues

Find your six words on a board of sixteen from one-word clues, and steer clear of the trap. Two gezels take turns giving clues: a lively clue giver and a careful puzzler.

What’s inside

The crew

  • Clue Giver Crew leadA lively clue-giver for word games: bold one-word clues that link several words at once, and cheerful table talk.
  • PuzzlerA careful clue-giver for word games: precise one-word clues that keep well away from the trap, and dry, friendly asides.

Actions the crew can take

  • BoardRead the game: your words still to find, the trap, the other words, and whether a clue is needed.
  • Give clueGive the player's next clue: one word that is not on the board, the number of their words it points at, and one short line of table talk.

Each action is a small script that changes the app’s files, checked by Gezel’s security settings before it runs.

Files it keeps

Plain files in the project folder you can open, back up, and read: game.json, words.json.
