The object of the game

Cinco is a beguilingly simple word puzzle which challenges you to guess a mystery five letter word. As with crossword puzzles, you must use both logic and your "word smarts." The goal is to guess the word in as few tries as possible.

Use the Keyboard to enter your guesses. Cinco will tell you how many of the letters in your guess are in the mystery word, and how many of those letters are in the correct position. Make subsequent guesses to determine what the mystery word is.

You can click on individual positions in the guess word to enter individual letters. For instance, say you think the mystery word starts with R and ends with ES. You can enter:

This helps you visualize possible solutions.

On the right side of the display, CINCO provides a handy scratch pad to help you keep track of what letters you think might be in the mystery word, or which letters you think you have eliminated. Tap a letter once to cross it out; once more to make it bold.
