What this game is

  • • 5×5 grid for English, 4×4 for Hindi (Devanagari grapheme clusters per R-MG-2).
  • • Daily difficulty mix per weekday (Mon hardest, Sun easiest).
  • • AES-256-GCM per-day key (R-MG-3) — server never reveals the answer until solve/fail.
  • • Title "Wordsmith" (any solve), "Linguist" (HI solve specifically).
