Limina

What is Limina?

Limina is a daily word puzzle that asks you to find a hidden five-letter word in six guesses. Unlike classic word games that focus on letter presence and position, Limina's clues are about the order of letters relative to each other. Each guess that shares at least two letters with the answer produces a two-letter clue, color-coded to show how those letters are arranged in the hidden word.

A daily word puzzle that rewards patience with elegant letter-order clues feels like a quiet, satisfying crossword for the digital age.

The clue system is a clever twist on deduction, but the real test is whether the challenge mode's risk-reward gamble justifies the added friction.

This puzzle's got a hook — that color-coded order mechanic is like a sample you can't shake, and the daily reset keeps the track fresh.

How to play Limina

Each guess must be a valid five-letter word. If your guess contains two or more letters from the hidden word, you receive a clue. The clue shows two letters with a symbol between them (e.g., M·N) and is colored green, orange, or purple. Green means the order is correct: the first letter must come before the second in the hidden word. Orange means the order is wrong: the second letter must come before the first. Purple indicates that one of the two letters appears twice in the hidden word, with the other letter occurring somewhere between the two instances. The clue does not imply the letters a

Tips & strategy

• Start with five different, common letters like A, E, I, O, R, S, T, L, N.
• If a guess gives no clue, it means it shares fewer than two letters with the answer—but don't rule out all five letters; one may still be in the word.
• Pay attention to the order clues to deduce the sequence of letters.
