From Aahs To Zzzs

About From Aahs To Zzzs

From Aahs To Zzzs plays on the alphabet. The day's mystery word is four letters long, and at the start all you know is that it comes after AAHS and before ZZZS. You guess a four-letter word that falls between the current boundaries, and the game tells you which side the answer is on by moving a boundary.

If the mystery word were MISS and you guessed HERE, HERE would replace AAHS, so you would know the answer lies between HERE and ZZZS. Every guess halves the field if you choose well, and the aim is to find the word in as few guesses as possible. When you finish, the game shows how many possible words were still left at each step.

From Aahs To Zzzs is one of seven daily games from Here's What You Do, a weekly UK quiz podcast hosted by James, Jonny and John. A new puzzle comes each day, following UK time, and it is free to play. A free Here's What You Do account saves your stats and history and adds a Friends Leaderboard that compares all seven games with friends and family.
