WORDGUESS3

A first step in association and deduction

I’ll show you a clue word. I’m thinking of a related three-letter word containing three different letters.

Guess a three-letter word and I’ll tell you how many of its letters appear in mine. Repeated letters count repeatedly: if my word is BED and you try BEE, the score is 3.

Your first guess probably won’t work. That doesn’t mean you’re bad at guessing. It means the game has started.
