Word Sleuth

Word Sleuth challenges the solver to identify a mystery four-letter word. To do that, they must compare the scores given to six four-letter clue words. The scores indicate how many letters in each clue word appear in the mystery word, and whether they are in the same or a different position.

The scores are given in the form of circles: a black circle shows there’s a correct letter in the correct position, and a white circle shows there’s a correct letter but in the wrong position. The solver must use the scores to deduce the mystery word, a process involving logic and word power.

The digital version of this puzzle is known as Guessword.
