Spoiler — the secret word for puzzle #77Reveal
Secret word
recipe
Meaning: directions for making something
Semantic category: direction
Words that rank near the top today
- cake
- cookbook
- sauce
- dessert
- ingredients
- pie
- delicious
- baked
Those words score well because English uses them in the same situations as the answer — not because they are synonyms in a dictionary sense. That is why a guess like cake lands in the top handful while an exact synonym sometimes does not.
How the round tends to go
A broad opener usually lands in the thousands. Once a guess drops under a few hundred you are inside the right category (direction), and the remaining work is choosing between neighbours rather than searching the whole language.
Yesterday’s answer
Play instead of reading
Clues are more satisfying after a few honest guesses. The daily puzzle takes most players between eight and twenty five guesses, and unlimited mode is there when one puzzle is not enough.
