Understand this puzzle

Choose a worked example after solving, or open just the part you need. These explanations are calculated from this recorded puzzle.

Compare the letters after solving

For SHOWN, the pattern _H__N fixes positions 2 and 5. It matches 17 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: CHAIN, CHOON, CHURN, PHEON, SHARN, SHAWN, SHEEN, SHEWN ….

8 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: SHAWN, SHEWN, SHOON, SHORN, SHOWD, SHOWS, SHOWY, STOWN. Check that differing position before treating a familiar spelling as the solution.

This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool.

Why these alphabetical bounds work

SHOWN comes after SHOWD: the first different letter is at position 5, where SHOWN has N and SHOWD has D. Earlier positions match.

SHOWN comes before SHOWS: the first different letter is at position 5, where SHOWN has N and SHOWS has S. Earlier positions match.

These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.

Continue with your own clues

Alphabetical distance counts words in a dictionary, rather than the number of letters between guesses. Your game's dictionary can differ from this helper's.
