Letter Hunt
by Nebulark Studio · Word · v1.1.0
Guess the hidden word one letter at a time. Every wrong letter pops a balloon holding up Pip the owl's basket. Keep the streak flying!
How to play
- Find the hidden word before all six balloons pop. The category above the sign helps.
- Type a letter or tap it on the keyboard: a right letter fills every slot where it appears; a wrong letter pops one balloon.
- Press Solve (or Enter) to type the whole answer: right wins at once, a wrong solve pops two balloons.
- Press Hint (or the 1 key) once per word to reveal a letter for one balloon (never on your last balloon).
- A found word scores letters × 10 + balloons left × 15 + a streak bonus; the green chip shows what the word is worth right now.
- Endless: one lost word ends the run. Daily: five words, one per category, the same for everyone each day.
- Your run is saved after every guess: leave any time and press Continue to pick it up.

About Letter Hunt
Letter Hunt hides a word or short phrase on a wooden sign, with a category hint: Animals, Food, Space, Sports, Music, Nature, Travel or Jobs. Guess letters by typing or tapping the keyboard. A right letter appears in every slot where it belongs; a wrong one pops one of the six balloons holding up the hot-air-balloon basket where Pip, a curious owl explorer with binoculars, is riding. Pop all six and the basket drifts gently down onto the hills. Think you know it? Solve the whole word at once, but a wrong solve pops two balloons. Stuck? A hint reveals a letter once per word for one balloon. Endless strings words into a ranked streak: each solve scores letters × 10 plus 15 for every balloon still flying plus a growing streak bonus, and one lost word ends the run. Daily gives everyone the same five words from five different categories each UTC day, with a spoiler-free result line to share. Over 360 original, family-friendly words and phrases.
