You can guess the word at anytime after you play 2 sticks. But if you're wrong, you'll lose 3 sticks and worse - you'll lose the unused stick bonus that erases an equal amount of wrong guesses.
STICKS LEFT - total remaining sticks. (Each word starts with double the sticks needed.)
STICKS UNUSED - how many sticks are left in the word that you have not found.
STICKS WRONG - how many sticks have been incorrectly selected.
Check the hint box to show possible letters (in black) and letters that can't be made with the currently selected segment (in grey).There’s currently no penalty for using hints-though it’s definitely more challenging to keep them off.
