The hunt: build words from the big word’s letters, in order, left to right — they needn’t be adjacent. Tap letters in any order; your word always assembles by position. Greyed tiles just sit left of your furthest pick — they’re still tappable. Words must be 4+ letters. Keyboard typing works too.
The joey: every word hides a synonym of itself. It may be any length, it’s worth +10, and its chip offers a hint (meaning, then length).
The crown: rank up from Pouchling to Grand Roo. The bar alone isn’t enough — the crown requires every joey. Past the crown, the pouch always holds more than the meter shows.
