Shiftle

Shiftle is a puzzle game inspired by the popular Wordle game. It introduces a unique twist where players need to guess a five-letter word by shifting one letter in the alphabet by 1-3 steps in either direction.

Here's more information about the Shiftle game:

Gameplay Mechanics:

1. Guessing: Each guess in Shiftle must be a five-letter word where one letter is shifted 1-3 steps in the alphabet in either direction. For example, if the original word is "SNAKE," a valid guess could be "SNANE" where the letter "A" has been shifted one step before "N."

2. Valid Words and Wrapping: Valid words, meaning words that exist in the dictionary, are not allowed as guesses. Additionally, wrapping around the alphabet is not allowed. For instance, if the original word is "SAINT," shifting the letter "S" three steps back to "P" (SAINT → PZINT) is not a valid guess.

3. Color Feedback: After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to provide feedback on the correctness of the letters. The specific color scheme or indications for the feedback are not explicitly mentioned, but the example provided suggests a feedback system:

   • Green: Indicates that a letter in the guess is in the correct position in the word.
   • Yellow: Represents that a letter in the guess is present in the word but in the wrong position.
   • Absence of color change: Indicates that a letter in the guess is not part of the word.

4. Swap Shiftle Mode: Swap Shiftle is a separate game mode within Shiftle. It features its own daily words and introduces an additional gameplay mechanic where players can swap one pair of tiles per row for more hints.

   • Swapping Tiles: In Swap Shiftle mode, players can swap tiles by double-clicking on the two tiles they want to swap, dragging one tile on top of another (PC), or long-pressing the tiles (Mobile). This allows for more flexibility in creating meaningful guesses.

5. Game Mode Switch: Players can switch between the normal Shiftle mode and the Swap Shiftle mode by clicking on the icon of two arrows located in the top right corner.

The Shiftle game offers a unique challenge where players need to think creatively and strategically to find the correct word by shifting letters. The introduction of Swap Shiftle mode adds an additional layer of complexity and possibilities.
