What is Notepad

Notepad is a straightforward word-guessing game that puts your vocabulary to the test. Each puzzle hides a phrase, and you reveal it one letter at a time.

How to Play

Start a new game and look at the blank spaces representing the hidden phrase. Guess letters by clicking or typing; correct guesses fill in the blanks, while incorrect ones reduce your remaining attempts.

Tips for Playing

Begin with common vowels like A, E, and I to quickly uncover many letters.
Pay attention to common letter combinations, such as TH, SH, and CH, to narrow down possibilities.
If you are stuck, try guessing frequently used consonants like T, N, or S.
Guess the full phrase as soon as you have enough clues to avoid wasting attempts.
Keep a mental list of used letters to avoid repeating guesses.
