🎮 4 Game Modes Explained

📝

Classic Mode

The traditional Wordle experience with Clash Royale cards. Perfect for beginners!

How It Works:

  • Type any 5-letter Clash Royale card name (like GIANT, ROYAL, ARENA)
  • Press ENTER to submit your guess
  • Letters will change color to give you hints
  • You have 6 attempts to find the correct card

Letter Color Meanings:

G

Green: Letter is correct and in the right position

I

Yellow: Letter is in the word but in the wrong position

X

Gray: Letter is not in the word at all

Example Game:

A
R
E
N
A
← Guess 1: "ARENA" - E is in the word but wrong spot
T
O
W
E
R
← Guess 2: "TOWER" - O and E are correct!
G
O
L
E
M
← Guess 3: "GOLEM" - WIN! 🎉

Pro Tips for Classic Mode:

  • Start with words containing common letters like ROYAL, GIANT, or SPELL
  • Use your second guess to test different letters
  • Remember: each Clash Royale card name is exactly 5 letters
  • Pay attention to the keyboard - used letters will also change color

Pixel Mode

Visual challenge where you guess the card from a heavily blurred image that gets clearer with each attempt.

How It Works:

  • The game shows a card image blurred at 100% (completely unrecognizable)
  • Each wrong guess reduces the blur by about 17%
  • After 6 guesses, the image becomes crystal clear
  • You still have 6 attempts to guess the card name

Blur Progression:

  • Start: 100% blur - just colors and shapes
  • After 1 guess: 83% blur - you might see general outlines
  • After 2 guesses: 66% blur - character shapes become visible
  • After 3 guesses: 49% blur - you can identify the card type
  • After 4 guesses: 32% blur - card details are clear
  • After 5 guesses: 15% blur - almost obvious
  • After 6 guesses: 0% blur - perfectly clear (game over)

Pro Tips for Pixel Mode:

  • Look at the dominant colors first (blue = troop, purple = spell, red = building)
  • Try to identify the card type before guessing names
  • Common 5-letter cards: GIANT, WITCH, GIANT, PEKKA, ROYAL
  • Don't waste early guesses - use the first 2-3 to see more detail
  • Look for distinctive features: crown, weapons, size, posture

Strategy:

Pixel mode rewards Clash Royale knowledge over word strategy. If you're familiar with the card artwork, you can often guess correctly after just 2-3 attempts. The trick is to use strategic wrong guesses to reveal more of the image rather than trying to guess correctly on the first try.

Emoji Mode

The most creative mode! Decode emoji clues that represent the card's characteristics, abilities, or theme.

How It Works:

  • Start with 1 emoji clue related to the card
  • Each wrong guess reveals another emoji (up to 4 total)
  • The 4 emojis together represent the card's identity
  • Think creatively about what each emoji might symbolize

Example Emoji Clues:

GIANT:

👨💪🏰🦶

Man + Strong + Castle + Feet = Giant (strong man, attacks buildings, walks slowly)

WITCH:

🧙‍♀️💀👻🔮

Witch + Skull + Ghost + Crystal Ball = Witch (summons skeletons, magical)

ROYAL:

👑⚔️🛡️👔

Crown + Sword + Shield + Suit = Royal (royal theme, armored fighters)

Emoji Interpretation Guide:

👑 Crown

Royal, king, prince themes

⚔️ Sword

Combat, attacks, damage

🏰 Castle

Buildings, towers, defenses

🔥 Fire

Spell damage, area effect

💀 Skull

Death, skeletons, damage

🦶 Feet

Slow movement, ground troop

Pro Tips for Emoji Mode:

  • Don't take emojis too literally - think about symbolism
  • Consider what makes each card unique in Clash Royale
  • First emoji is usually the most obvious clue
  • Look for connections between multiple emojis
  • Think about card abilities, not just appearance
📖

Description Mode

Test your Clash Royale knowledge! Read partial card descriptions and figure out which card it is.

How It Works:

  • Start with about 20% of the card's description revealed
  • Each wrong guess reveals approximately 15% more words
  • Hidden words are shown as underscores (like: ____)
  • By guess 4-5, most of the description is visible
  • Use context clues to figure out the card

Example Description Progression:

Guess 0 (Start):

"Slow but ______ _____ ________ _________ _ ____ _________ ______ _____!"

(20% revealed - just the first word)

After 1 wrong guess:

"Slow but durable, only ________ _________ _ ____ _________ ______ _____!"

(35% revealed - getting more context)

After 2 wrong guesses:

"Slow but durable, only attacks buildings. _ ____ _________ ______ _____!"

(50% revealed - "attacks buildings" is a big clue)

After 3 wrong guesses:

"Slow but durable, only attacks buildings. A real one-man wrecking crew!"

(100% revealed - answer is GIANT)

Key Phrases to Know:

  • "attacks buildings" → GIANT, GOLEM, ROYAL (building-targeting troops)
  • "area damage" → Cards with splash damage
  • "summons" → WITCH, cards that spawn other units
  • "spell" → Magic cards like SPELL, ROYAL (if Royal Guards)
  • "defensive" → Buildings or defensive troops

Pro Tips for Description Mode:

  • Even one or two words can be enough if you know the cards well
  • Focus on unique characteristics mentioned early
  • Card types (troop/spell/building) are usually mentioned
  • Attack patterns ("targets buildings", "area damage") are key clues
  • If stuck after 2-3 guesses, try thinking of all 5-letter cards first

Strategy:

Description mode rewards players who are familiar with Clash Royale card mechanics. The best approach is to make 1-2 strategic wrong guesses to reveal more context, then use your Clash Royale knowledge to deduce the answer. It's easier than it sounds once you see key phrases like "attacks buildings" or "summons skeletons"!

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

Typing words that aren't card names

Only official 5-letter Clash Royale card names are accepted. "SPELL" won't work unless it's an actual card name.

Wasting guesses on random words

In Classic mode, use your early guesses strategically to test common letters. In other modes, use wrong guesses to reveal more clues.

Not using the keyboard color hints

In Classic mode, the on-screen keyboard shows which letters you've already tried and their status. Use this information!

Guessing too quickly in visual modes

In Pixel and Emoji modes, sometimes it's smarter to make a wrong guess to see more information rather than guessing randomly.
