Tips to play better

💡 Start with vowels and common consonants (like S, R, N) before risking rarer letters.
💡 Use the theme shown at the top of the screen to narrow things down before guessing a letter.
💡 Every miss costs a life — think twice before picking a letter you're not sure about.
💡 If the theme feels broad, start by picturing its most common words before reaching for something rare — it raises your odds of an early hit.
