Hondo is a Wordle-like word guessing game, where the goal is to guess back-to-back code words in an attempt to score a Hondo (100 points, that is). Watch your energy meter! Every guess drains energy, but correct guesses replenish it instead. Need help? Use special abilities to shuffle the words on the board, or skip the current code word to tilt the odds in your favor. But beware—these abilities also cost energy, so use them wisely!
