How to play SCHEMA
A daily logic puzzle. Deduce the hidden word.
The goal
Transform the starting word into a hidden target word by moving segments between letters.
Use the provided clue + slot segment counts + Par to deduce the answer.
When a slot matches the hidden target letter, it turns teal/green (locked-in confirmation).
The deduction tools
The start and target words have the same total number of segments.
Par is exact. Your placements are tracked by Ops. A candidate answer that requires either more or fewer placements than Par cannot be correct.
Clues describe the geometry of the target word, not its meaning.
If you're stuck, you can reveal additional clues (C2/C3).
FAQ
Is SCHEMA like Wordle?
It's a daily word puzzle, but it's deduction-first - you solve by proof, not trial-and-error guesses.
What does Par mean?
Par is the exact number of segment placements required to make the target word.
What are Ops?
Ops tracks your placements. Par tells you the exact number of placements required to make the target word from the starting word.
What do teal letters mean?
Teal indicates a slot matches the hidden target letter and is locked in.
