How to Play

Welcome to Encrypted Clichés^™, the online word game of synonyms, antonyms, and analogous meanings!

The object of the game is to correctly identify the hidden catch phrase, cliché, or idiom within 5 guesses.

Players are given a disguised version of the hidden cliché, called an Encrypted Cliché^™, and have to determine what the hidden cliché is. Example:

The Encrypted Cliché^™ is:

Refrigerated Like A Pickle

The player’s first guess is:

• 1. C
  Green means the letter is in the correct position.
• 1. L
  Yellow means the letter is present somewhere else in the answer.
• 1. S
  Gray means the letter is not in the answer.

The player keeps guessing until they have the correct answer:

A new Encrypted Cliché^™ will appear each day.

Hints

Players have access to two kinds of hints, each of which costs $0.99.

A Phrase hint is a one-time daily hint.

A Fill-In-The-Letters hint can be used multiple times in a day.

Let’s look at our previous example to illustrate the hint system.

Stumped, the player elects to use the Phrase hint by pressing the Phrase button.

Thanks to the Phrase hint the user's next guess becomes:

1. c
   o
   o
   l
2. a
   s
3. a
4. c
   o
   m
   m
   u
   t
   e
   r

Still stumped, the player elects to use the Fill-In-The-Letters hint by clicking the Fill button, which will fill in approximately half of the remaining empty spaces.

Still unsure of the answer, the player chooses to use the Fill-In-The-Letters hint again.

The player is now sure of the answer and makes his third guess,

1. c
   o
   o
   l
2. a
   s
3. a
4. c
