About this game

INCOWORD hides each answer inside a string of nonsense. A white card shows a gibberish phrase, and the trick is to read it out loud: spoken, the sounds point towards a real word, and that word is what you type.

If the phrase will not give itself up, click the card to flip it over for a hint. Guesses go in through your physical keyboard or an on-screen virtual one, and Enter submits them.

Solo play is organised by word length, with levels running from five-letter answers up to ten. There is also a multiplayer option, where you join a room and race your friends in real time. The developer describes the idea as a word guessing game based on sounds, so the puzzle sits in how the phrase is pronounced rather than in how it is spelled on the card.

How to play

Say the nonsense on the white card aloud and listen for the word it sounds like. Type your guess on the keyboard and press Enter. Backspace deletes a letter. Click or tap the card to flip it for a hint. On mobile, tap Show Keyboard to bring up the on-screen keyboard before you start typing.

Controls

Tips

Say the phrase aloud, more than once if needed; the hidden word comes from the sound of the gibberish rather than its spelling. Turn the card over for its hint before guessing blindly. Solo levels are set by word length, from five to ten letters, so check that your guess has the right number before pressing Enter.
