SCHEMA FAQ
Quick answers, plus a few deeper definitions from the in-game Guide and Stats.
Quick answers
SCHEMA is a daily logic word puzzle built around 14-segment displays.
You solve by deduction: constraints and clues uniquely determine the target word.
The core constraints
If a slot says it needs 4 segments, only letters with 4 segments can fit.
Par is the exact number of placements needed to build the target word from the starting word. If a guess would result in total ops over or under par, it can’t be right.
FAQ
Do I need an account?
No - SCHEMA is playable without an account.
Do you store my progress?
Progress and stats are stored locally in your browser (no signup required).
What are the clues?
Clues describe the geometry of the hidden target word. If you're stuck, you can reveal additional clues (C2/C3).
What does Par mean?
Par is the exact number of placements needed to build the target word from the starting word.
What are Ops?
Ops tracks your placements.
What do Stable / Drift / Error mean?
Stable: a placed segment that never moved again. Drift: a segment removed from a correct position and later replaced. Error: a segment was placed into a segment not in the final letter.
What is Accuracy?
Accuracy is Stable / (Stable + Drift + Error).
Can I practice?
Yes. Practice lets you play extra puzzles outside the daily. Practice puzzles are drawn from a separate practice-only pool.
Can I share my results?
Yes - SCHEMA produces a shareable result string, and share links help friends discover the game.
