Glyph

About Glyph

Glyph combines a visual clue with Wordle-style feedback. The day's answer is shown as a Cipher Glyph: all of its letters stacked on top of each other, so the strokes of an A, an E or an M overlap into one abstract shape. Puzzles are numbered and there is one per day.

You type a word of the right length and press Decode. Letters that are correct and in the right position are decoded and removed from the Cipher Glyph, which makes the remaining shape easier to read. Letters that are in the word but in another position are listed as found, and letters not in the word are ruled out. Your own guesses are drawn as Your Glyph next to the cipher for comparison. You have six tries, one hint per game that reveals a letter of your choice, and an option to give up.

After finishing you can share your result and see a countdown to the next glyph. A calendar archive lets you play previous days, an Unlimited mode offers extra puzzles, and stats track your guess distribution.

It suits Wordle players who want a visual twist and people who like picking out letter shapes.

Tips

• Look for distinctive strokes: diagonals suggest A, K, M, N, V, W, X or Y; curves suggest C, O, S or U.
• Your first guess should test common letters; each decoded one simplifies the glyph.
• Compare Your Glyph with the Cipher Glyph to spot strokes you have not yet explained.
• Save the hint for the letter you cannot see in the shape.
