5 Clues is a word puzzle game that challenges you to guess the answer using only five hints. Each puzzle starts with one cryptic clue, and you can reveal more hints if you get stuck. The fewer clues you need, the more coins you earn.
How does it work? Every puzzle has a hidden word or phrase. You start with just the first hint, which is intentionally tricky. Can you solve it with only one clue? If not, reveal the second hint for a bit more context. Keep revealing hints until you crack the code. Solve with one hint and earn 50 coins. Need all five hints? You still earn 5 coins for completing it.
Type your answer using the scrambled letters provided. The letters from the correct answer are mixed with extra letters to keep you guessing. Made a mistake? Tap any letter in your answer to remove it, or use the delete button. When your answer is complete, it automatically checks if you are correct.
The game features 30 categories with 30 puzzles each, giving you 900 unique puzzles to solve. Start with categories like Animals, Food, Movies, and Music. As you earn coins, unlock new categories including Science, Mythology, Space, Architecture, and many more. Each category offers a fresh challenge with puzzles ranging from easy to surprisingly difficult.
Need a little help? Use power-ups to give yourself an edge. Reveal Letter shows you one correct letter in its proper position. Remove Letter eliminates a wrong letter from your choices. Reveal Hint unlocks the next clue without waiting. Skip Puzzle lets you move on and come back later. Each power-up costs coins, so use them wisely.
Track your progress with detailed statistics. See how many puzzles you have solved, your current streak, your best streak ever, and how many categories you have completed. Challenge yourself to solve more puzzles each day and build an impressive streak.
The game saves your progress automatically. Leave in the middle of a puzzle and come back right where you left off. Your coins, unlocked categories, and solved puzzles are all saved locally on your device.
Prefer a quieter experience? Toggle sound effects and haptic feedback on or off in the settings. The game adapts to your preferences.

Name famous landmarks, classic literature, musical instruments, board games, fairy tales, inventions throughout history, holidays from around the world, architectural styles, fashion terms, and professional fields.
