Symbology

Symbology is a daily word puzzle game where you must guess a phrase, sentence, or proper noun based on a visual clue. The "Letters" mode functions similarly to popular games like Wordle Nyt or Phrazle.

How to Play Symbology Effectively

1. The Objective

The goal of Symbology is to correctly guess the hidden phrase within the minimum number of attempts.

2. The Clue

The puzzle begins with a visual clue displayed at the top of the screen. This clue is a sequence of emojis or symbols that conceptually or phonetically represent the words in the hidden phrase.

Example: A picture of an eye + a picture of an ice cube might represent the phrase "I see."

3. Gameplay: Letters Mode

In the "Letters" mode, you attempt to guess the entire phrase at once.

The Grid: The game displays a grid of blank tiles, grouped by words, that represent the structure of the hidden phrase. You will know the number of words and the length of each word before you start.

Making a Guess: You must type in a guess that exactly matches the structure of the phrase (same number of words and letters). You can only use real words for your guess.

Feedback: After submitting a guess, the tiles in your guess will change colors to provide feedback, similar to Wordle. This is the crucial part of the game, as it tells you which letters you have correct and where to focus your next attempt.

4. Color Code Feedback

The color of the tiles reveals how close your guess is to the correct phrase.

Color	Meaning	Explanation
🟩 Green	Correct Letter & Position	The letter is in the final phrase AND is in the correct position.
🟨 Yellow	Correct Letter, Wrong Position	The letter is in the final phrase, but it is in a different spot.
⬜ Gray	Incorrect Letter	The letter does not appear anywhere in the final phrase.

5. Advanced Rules & Strategy

Duplicated Letters: If the secret phrase has a letter repeated (e.g., the two 'O's in "LOOT"), and you only guess it once, only one of the actual 'O's in the answer will be marked with a color (Green or Yellow), and the other will remain unrevealed until you guess it in a different position.

The Goal: You continue guessing, using the color-coded feedback to deduce the correct phrase, until all letters are green.

The Key: The most important element is interpreting the initial visual clue and then using a strong starting word/phrase to maximize the chance of getting Green or Yellow tiles on the first few turns.
