Shiftle

Shiftle is a puzzle game that puts a twist on the popular Wordle game.

Here are some additional details about the Shiftle game:

Objective:

The objective of Shiftle is to guess a five-letter word by shifting one letter in the alphabet by 1-3 steps in either direction. The goal is to find the correct word within the given constraints.

Gameplay Mechanics:

1. Guessing: Players make guesses by entering a five-letter word where one letter is shifted in the alphabet. Each letter can be shifted by 1-3 steps forward or backward. For example, if the original word is "SNAKE," a valid guess could be "SNANE" where the letter "A" has been shifted one step before "N."

2. Valid Words and Wrapping: Valid words, meaning words that exist in the dictionary, are not allowed as guesses. Additionally, wrapping around the alphabet is not allowed. This means that if the original word is "SAINT," shifting the letter "S" three steps back to "P" (SAINT → PZINT) would be considered an invalid guess.

3. Color Feedback: After each guess, the color of the tiles changes to provide feedback on the correctness of the letters. While the specific color scheme or indications are not mentioned, the example provided suggests the following feedback system:

   • Green: Indicates that a letter in the guess is in the correct position in the word.
   • Yellow: Represents that a letter in the guess is present in the word but in the wrong position.
   • Absence of color change: Indicates that a letter in the guess is not part of the word.

4. Swap Shiftle Mode: Shiftle offers a separate game mode called Swap Shiftle. In this mode, players can swap one pair of tiles per row to gain additional hints.

   • Swapping Tiles: In Swap Shiftle mode, players can swap tiles by double-clicking on the two tiles they want to swap, dragging one tile on top of another (on PC), or long-pressing the tiles (on mobile). This allows for more flexibility in creating meaningful guesses.

5. Game Mode Switch: Players can switch between the normal Shiftle mode and the Swap Shiftle mode by clicking on the icon with two arrows located in the top right corner of the game interface.

The Shiftle game challenges players to think creatively and strategically to deduce the correct word by shifting letters within the given constraints. The introduction of Swap Shiftle mode adds an extra layer of complexity and possibilities to the gameplay.
