| Gray | It belongs somewhere else in the grid. |
Example: mixed up (left) and solved (right).

I typed my word, but nothing happened.
Press Enter. Still stuck? Tap the puzzle once, then type again.

It opens at noon. The card at the top shows when each word opens.
Why is the Collect button gray?
There are no coins to collect yet. Wait a little bit.
