Word Lie
Word Lie is a word puzzle game that takes the concept of Wordle and purposely misleads players by emphasizing letters in wrong guesses. You must find the truth amid the lies and guess the word.
Game Modes:
Daily Mode: Daily puzzle with the same word for all players. This assures that identical gaming experiences produce identical lies.
Practice Mode lets players practice and develop with limitless puzzles.
Word Lie is available in English, French, and Russian for players who prefer these languages.
Game Rules: The game rules are similar to "Wordle" but with a misleading twist. Word Lie purposefully highlights erroneous letters in one guess.
Players get clues to guess. Players can check the "TRUST?" box next to each clue to show their trust. Trusted clues highlight keyboard letters to assist players recall which letters must be in the response.
When a guess is correct, the game may erroneously say it is incorrect. This increases difficulty and strategy.
Color Scheme:
The color scheme highlights letters in teal when they're in the right location, yellow when they're not, and grey when they're not in the word.
If a guess has a letter twice and the answer has it once, just the most correct letter is marked.
Lying and Strategy: The game selects a "fake" answer and scores the guess as if it were true. This makes lying plausible.
The game never chooses a bogus answer that has been removed twice to avoid conflicting scores. It can choose a bogus answer once eliminated. One is a falsehood, but contradictory indications don't say which.
The game strategically lies when telling the truth might reveal important information. Information is measured in bits to balance deceit and plausibility.
Absurdle and Absurdliar: The game resembles Absurdle, a Wordle version by qntm that cheats by using several words to prolong the game.
The common generalization "Absurdliar" by Tim Black combines "Word Lie" and "Absurdle." The word is not predetermined in this game, and it may cheat like Absurdle, keeping the lies unknown.
