◈ Basic Rules

1. Start a Game: Use /new or length-specific commands like /new4, /new5, or /new6.
2. Make a Guess: Simply send your guess (e.g., POWER) in the chat.
3. Analyze Feedback: After each guess, the bot provides color-coded hints:
   • 🟩 Green: Correct letter in the correct position.
   • 🟨 Yellow: Correct letter but in the wrong position.
   • 🟥 Red/Gray: Letter is not in the word.
4. Winning: The game ends when a user correctly guesses the word or the maximum attempts (30 for normal, 6 for daily) are reached.

◈ Pro Tips

▪ Strong Openers: Start with words that contain many common vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and high-frequency consonants (R, S, T, L, N). Examples: ORATE, STARE, ALIVE.
▪ Elimination: Use the red hints to mentally eliminate letters from the alphabet.
▪ Group Strategy: In group chats, pay close attention to your teammates' guesses to avoid repeating incorrect letters.
