Orange belongs right, purple belongs left, and gold locks in place. Eight related words tighten from eight guesses to one.

Word-King keeps the immediate five-letter guessing loop and changes the information underneath it. A matching letter tells you which direction its correct position lies; gold locks exact placement, while unlit letters are absent or excess copies.

A run is larger than one answer. Eight words are sampled from one concealed semantic court, and each victory becomes your clue to the next. The allowance shrinks after every claim until the final word grants exactly one guess.
