About Five Clues— the rules, and the twist
One word goes with all five clues, before or after each. Name it early for more points: every miss, or every clue you buy, shows the next clue.
One hidden word goes with all five clues — before or after each, like fire with wall, fly and engine. The first clue shows alone, and every miss or clue you buy reveals the next. Naming the link on the first clue is worth five points; most rounds are won on the third.
The twist: The score runs backwards: every clue you ask for is a point gone, so the game is knowing when to commit.

Five Clues in short
One hidden word goes with all five clues — before or after each, like fire with wall, fly and engine. The first clue shows alone, and every miss or clue you buy reveals the next. Naming the link on the first clue is worth five points; most rounds are won on the third.
- 1.Read the first clue. One word appears. A single hidden word goes with it — and with four more clues you cannot see yet.
- 2.Name the link. Pick it from the shortlist on easy and medium, or type it on hard. Plurals count.
- 3.Or buy a clue. A wrong guess reveals the next clue, and so does buying one outright. Each costs a point.
