The popular game Wordle served as the inspiration for the math puzzle game Numbword. Your goal in this game is to correctly predict a five-letter word while also knowing the word's letter count.
In order to solve the mystery word, players must guess. Your guesses will be scored based on how closely they correspond to the target's letter total. The game will figure out the discrepancy between your guess and the desired amount, and that discrepancy will determine whether you pay a penalty or lose points.
The color of the tile will change after each estimate to reveal information about how accurate your prediction was. Depending on the game's design, the precise color changes may vary, but generally speaking, they act as suggestions to direct you toward the right phrase.
In Numbword, the objective is to correctly identify the 5-letter word within the allotted number of trials using educated estimates based on the sum of the letters and the hints offered by the color changes.
