## What is Cornered Shift?

Welcome to CORNERED—the definitive, mind-bending evolution of the classic word-guessing game!

You aren't just playing Hangman anymore. You are entering a strategic battle of wits against a dynamic puzzle engine that refuses to play fair.

THE TWIST:
Every single time you guess a wrong letter, the secret word actively SHIFTS to an entirely new word to throw you off.

THE STRATEGY:
Any correct letters you successfully uncover stay frozen on the board. The game is strictly forced to pick a replacement word that honors your correct guesses. Watch the live "Possible Words" counter plummet as you strategically narrow down the options, adapt your guesses, and trap the puzzle in a corner!

GAME FEATURES:

Dynamic Shifting Mechanics: A fresh, modern algorithmic take on classic word puzzles.

Customizable Difficulty: Choose your challenge! Play with 3, 5, 10, or up to 26 allowed misses to match your skill level.

Full Layout Flexibility: Seamlessly switch between a classic QWERTY keyboard and an A-Z grid whenever you want.

Track Your Wins: Local scoreboards keep tabs on your wins and losses across every individual difficulty tier.

Can you outsmart the shifting engine, or will you end up cornered? Download today and find out!
