Find the word!

With each guess, you'll learn if the secret word is alphabetically before or after your guess. You'll also see the distance between the secret word and your guess.

How does distance work?

Distance between words measures the minimum number of letter insertions, deletions, and replacements to turn one word into another:

-illumined        kissed
ti---mi--d        kisses

"illuminated" and "timid" have a distance of 6 (insert the t, remove llu, remove ne).
"kissed" and "kisses" have a distance of 1 (replace d→s).

Using distance, you can do cool things:

If the word is between "illness" and "illumined", then it must start "ill...". If guess "ill" has distance 6, then the word must be 9 letters long. Or if the short guess "i" has distance 8 and "a" has distance 9, then the word must contain "i", not contain "a", and has length 9. You can use the distances of your guesses in clever ways to get better and better!

Don't worry about case-- it doesn't matter (proper nouns are excluded).
