How to play shapel

Guess a hidden word from its shape!

  • The answer will be a common Australian-English word that is not a proper noun, acronym, or plural.
  • Only letters with the correct shape can go in a slot, e.g. _b_ in a tall slot, _y_ in a low slot and _a_ in a small slot.
  • A guess doesn't need to be a real word.
  • Letters will change to yellow if they are in the word - sorry, no right-place clues here!
  • If you get the correct word, your score will go up: 4pts for 1 guess, 3pts for 2 guesses, 2pts for 3 guesses.
  • If you don't get the word, but you guessed something with all the right letters, you get 1 pity point.
  • The 'number of words with this shape' clue is an estimation based on our custom word-list, you might know more words than the number says!
  • There is a new word every day at midnight.
There are x words with this shape.
