Snowflakes

1. Choose one of the five hint slots. Each hint has its own 3 attempts.
2. Each snowflake begins with its shared intersection letter already filled. Type that letter normally when you reach it; a matching letter advances through the fixed cell, while a different letter is rejected with a warning.
3. Click a hex to select its word line, then type like a crossword. Every visible line must be a valid word; the dark line is your hidden-hint guess.
4. If the hint is wrong, green and yellow feedback checks the whole snowflake. Green letters stay fixed for later attempts and cannot be changed or cleared.
5. You may submit the completed hint line without support words. The game asks for confirmation first; it still spends one hint attempt and provides no support-letter reward.
6. If you solve the hint, its support letters go to the theme. If you miss attempt 3, that final snowflake still sends its support letters to the theme when support words were submitted.
7. Each support letter reveals only one matching theme position. Extra or absent letters appear struck out below the theme.
8. You have 3 separate theme guesses. They do not consume hint attempts.

Each daily hint has an authored snowflake shape. All three words share one intersection, and every player receives the same shapes and reveal order for fair play. Use Clear snowflake to wipe the current draft without spending an attempt.
