The word game with
a moving window
Every guess is a real word. Each row reveals a different slice of the round's hidden word. Deduce it early — then rack up points targeting its letters across every remaining guess.
Why WordShuttle
A word game built different
WordShuttle combines the tension of deduction with the thrill of competition — solo or multiplayer.
The Shifting Window

How it works
Deduce. Score. Repeat.
Each game has two rounds — a 6-letter hidden word, then a 7-letter one. Every guess must be a legitimate word, and its length is determined by that row's window. The window grows or shifts with each guess until row 11, when you finally have enough letters to spell the full hidden word.
The real strategy: deduce the hidden word early. Once you know it, use your remaining guesses to pick words that share as many of its letters as possible — earning 1,000 pts per letter in the right spot across every row left to play.

No tile colors. Only a point total per row. 1,000 pts = right letter, right spot. 250 pts = right letter, wrong spot. 0 pts = not in the word.
