Clue Circuit

Repair a five-node clue circuit by revealing one hidden five-letter word at a time. Use each clue, protect Circuit Integrity, and keep going even when a node turns static.

How to play

A circuit run has five clue words. Read the category and short clue, then choose letters to reveal the hidden five-letter answer. A correct new letter reveals every matching position; a wrong new letter removes one of six Circuit Integrity segments; repeating a used letter does nothing. If integrity reaches zero, that answer is revealed and the node becomes static, but the run continues to the next word. Finish all five nodes to reach the run summary.

Tips for this game

  • Use the category and clue before spending letters; a correct letter can reveal more than one position when it appears multiple times.
  • Repeating a letter you already tried is a no-op, so it cannot cost another integrity segment.
  • The one hint reveals an unresolved letter without costing integrity, but it reduces score and removes perfect-round eligibility for that node.

Common questions

Does failing one clue end the whole run?

No. At zero integrity the current answer is revealed and that node becomes static, then the circuit continues. The run always covers five nodes.

Does a hint cost Circuit Integrity?

No. The hint reveals one unresolved letter. It costs score and perfect-round eligibility, not integrity.

Is Clue Circuit a six-guess color-tile word game?

No. The current game is a clue-led letter-reveal run: you choose letters, track Circuit Integrity, and complete five separate clue words.

Is there a timer?

No. Clue Circuit has no hard timer and wall-clock speed does not affect scoring.
