I've played this game at least 30 times now
I love this game. If Clue and Wordle had a baby this would be it. There are 26 cards, each with a letter. Cards are passed out or placed aside. You take turns asking each other 5 letter words and you have to figure out where all the letters ended up based on the answers given. Like clue, just without a map to walk around.It's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me. I love it for the puzzle. The scoring system is meh, but I can't imagine a way to fix that. Again, I'm not playing to win points, I'm playing to solve the puzzle.I recommend colored pencils

If Clue and Wordle had a child it would be this game
I played it at a game night yesterday and after calling around my town today, with no success, I finally decided I would just have to wait the five days for delivery from Amazon (holiday weekend). If you like word games- Boggle, Scrabble, Wordle, etc. or logic/deductive games- sudoku, Clue, logic grids, etc. then you will enjoy this one. It says 14+ but if the players enjoy these types of games it could work for 10+.

Fun deduction game
Played this at Gen Con this year and LOVED it! Friends bought this and we played all night. I got home and couldn’t stop thinking about it so we bought it for ourselves. It’s a game that can be played any number of times. Definitely not for young kids as you need to know how to spell and make deductions about who may have what letter.

Outstanding Deduction / Word Game
Hooky is my absolute favorite deduction game – and if the idea of a word deduction game interests you, you'll almost certainly love it. James Miller's fantastic game design is enhanced by Tessa Samuelson's outstanding, adorable art.

Great game, had fun deducing the three students. Very cute theme and art

Huge hit with my wordle loving friends
A solid deduction game - a cross between the old Mastermind game and Wordle. You are trying to find the missing letters by choosing five letter words and asking your opponents how many of the letters they have.
