Threadbare

One true fact, shredded and tangled. Rebuild it in six guesses.

  1. Drag tiles from the tangle into the thread to rebuild today's true sentence, left to right.
  2. Six of the tiles are decoys โ€” plausible, but they're not in the real sentence.
  3. Hit Guess. You'll get two numbers (never which tiles):
green = right word, right spot
amber = right word, wrong spot
decoys count for nothing

Get all twelve green and the thread untangles. Then you learn why it's true.
