Quina is a new spin on a classic word game. Your goal is to uncover the secret five-letter code word by guessing words of your own. After each guess, you'll see how many letters from your guess are shared by the code word, and how many are in the same position in both words. However, you'll have to figure out which letters are which on your own! Use these clues to discover the code word, but watch out—you only get ten guesses, so use them wisely! Quina tracks your game history and statistics on your device, and offers 25 in-game awards available to unlock for bragging rights and extra challenge! A variety of gameplay settings are available to tweak the difficulty, including a choice of multiple word sets, and two kinds of optional hints.
