What? Another guess-the-secret-word game? Well, yes. And as with similar games, you try to guess the secret word by entering words as guesses, and WILY tells you how many letters in your guess are in the secret word. But that’s all you are told. Not which letters are correct. Not how many are in the right position. Just how many are correct. Oh, and there are limits on the number of guesses and amount of time you have to figure out the word! It’s challenging. It’s fun. It’s WILY!

FEATURES:
•Play 4-, 5-, or 6-letter word games and select to guess either “easy” or “hard” words.
•Use hints to help solve the secret word. Find out if a letter of your choosing is in or out of the secret word, and/or the position of the letter. Unused hints are worth bonus points.
•WILY uses letter color-coding to help you in your quest. You can also color-code letters anytime you think you know their status.
•There are 4 achievement levels for each word length, but you do not need to conquer one level to move on to the next.
•Secret words are appropriate for all ages, and are generally not considered obscure, but words used for guesses can be any real word.
EASY to play. Sometimes a CHALLENGE to win. Enjoy the WILY challenge.
