What we found to be even more appealing was the use of this puzzle just once every day. The crossword puzzle can be solved just once a day, this online game can also be played just once as there would be no new word added to the puzzle before the next day or 24 hours. As per the psychologists, this once a day only chance makes it even more challenging and appealing to the users wanting them to come back stronger every next day. Interesting approach, isn't it?

The game gives players six chances to guess a randomly selected five-letter word. Green spot means your letter is correct on that very spot; yellow means your letter is correct but is at the wrong spot and grey means your letter and the spot is incorrect. One only has a chance to enter six words. So, in any case, one can enter five-burner words from which one can learn hints about the letters and their placements. Only one chance is available to put the hints to use.

The game in itself is wonderful and the lesser the chances, the better the zeal among the users who play it. As per New York Times, over 3,00,000 players are using this game every day.
