Gems are the in-game currency. New accounts start with 10 gems. Spend them on power-ups like getting a hint (1 gem), revealing a letter (2 gems), or adding an extra guess row (3 gems). Earn more by winning games, completing achievements, and daily rewards.
Great starting words contain common letters and multiple vowels. Popular choices include CRANE, SLATE, TRACE, AUDIO, and ADIEU. The key is maximizing information from your first guess by using high-frequency letters like E, A, R, S, and T.

Think of it as Wordle evolved.
