Scary Minds

Three hints

It sounds scary. It isn't.

Every riddle gives you three hints, from spooky to simple. The first one sounds like a monster under the bed, the second narrows it down, and the third is plainly harmless and points straight at the answer. Every hint is true, and the answer is always something ordinary you see every day.

"I trap things in my cold clutches." The answer is Ice.

Letter tiles

Spell it with the tiles.

Tap a tile to place it in the next slot, tap a slot to send it back. Shuffle the bank, Clear the slots, or Skip to another word and come back to it later. Shuffle, Clear and Skip are always free. A wrong guess just shakes the slots. No penalty, no timer.

The solve

Nothing to be scared of.

Solve it and all three hints are read back, so you see how harmless they were all along, with the candies you earned. The monster under the bed was a mop all along.

1. I
2. C
3. E

The hints sound scary. The answers never are.

Candies

A brave mind earns candy.

Start with 10 candies and earn 3, 2 or 1 for solving on the first, second or third hint. Spend them to reveal a letter or clear the decoy tiles. Stuck after all three hints with too few candies? The answer is revealed for free. Nobody gets stuck, and candies are never sold.

• 3 on hint 1
• 2 on hint 2

• 2 Reveal a letter
• 3 Clear decoys
