Hello. Is "Watch a tutorial" not helpful? Please tell how to improve it.

Regarding the second question. I've developed an algorithm, that traverses a dictionary of English words and makes sure that only certain set of words (2 or more) fits the given dots and lines. It is possible to find conditions under which only one word is possible, or words of different lengths.

Actually my eye just went to "How to play" so I missed the Tutorial button which already showed me some things I didn't understand initially. Maybe some tips would help beginners - like you can try to guess words not using all of the dots to see what matches (I didn't understand that initially), or that you can guess even if it doesn't match the line hints.

So there is more than one solution, got it. Either way is fine just wanted to know if everybody's searching for the same answer or any answer.

You can submit any guess you want. Unused green dots are just moved aside, and if there are not enough dots, red ones appear.
