Five words. One theme. Five hearts. A new puzzle every day at midnight — all five words on screen at once, connected by a theme you have to work out for yourself. Pick a letter and it reveals across all five words simultaneously. Work out the theme and you start guessing with intent instead of luck. Every wrong letter costs a heart. Vowels cost one too, even correct ones, for as long as any consonant is still hidden — so you're always choosing between certainty and cost. Solve all five before your hearts run out. The theme is confirmed at the end, along with your time. No clock ticking at you while you play. Then share your result and see how everyone else did. One puzzle a day. A few minutes, then you're done. Free.
