How to play

Sixteen words enter.
One word leaves.

Dailyless Word Elimination is a four-round puzzle. In each round, remove every word that matches one objective rule.

The four rounds

  1. 16 → 8Read the first rule and remove eight matching words.
  2. 8 → 4A new rule removes four of the remaining words.
  3. 4 → 2The third rule leaves a final pair.
  4. 2 → 1One last rule reveals the survivor.

What counts as objective?

Rules only use properties you can verify directly: letters, length, repetition, or alphabet position. The game does not ask you to guess a theme or an author’s private association.

Mistakes and hints

A wrong tap adds one mistake and leaves the word in place. After two different misses in a round, you can use one hint. A hint removes one correct word and adds one mistake.

Timing

The timer begins with your first word selection. It pauses while the page is hidden. Speed is only a personal result; there is no leaderboard.
