How to play Julink

Objective

Transform the word into the hidden goal word through your clicks.

Mechanics

Left-click on a letter to increment it by 1.

Right-click on a letter to decrement it by 1.

Example

  • Left-clicking on 'A' becomes 'B'.

  • Right-clicking on 'D' becomes 'C'.

Any change to a letter does the same change to its adjacent letters.

Example
  • Say the word is currently 'CAT...'.
  • Left-clicking on 'A' will change 'A' to 'B', but also:
    • 'C' to 'D' and
    • 'T' to 'U'.
  • So, 'CAT...' becomes 'DBU...'
  • Right-clicking 'A' instead would turn 'CAT...' to 'BZS...'

If your action causes one of the changed letters to become correct, the game will reveal one incorrect letter out of the changed letters as a hint.

From then on, you will not get any more hints out of clicking the letter you directly clicked on.

Example
  • Say the goal word is 'BUTTON'.
  • Your current word is 'ABCDEF'.
  • Now, you click on the second letter ('B') and the word changes from 'ABCDEF' to 'BCDDEF'.
  • Your click caused the first letter to become correct.
    • 'BCDDEF' and 'BUTTON' share the first letter.
  • Notice out of the changed letters ('ABC' -> 'BCD'), 'C' and 'D' are still incorrect.
  • The game will reveal one of the two as incorrect.
    • Either 'C' or 'D'.
  • Future clicks to the second letter in your current word will not reveal any more hints.

Extra information

Letters wrap around.

Example
  • Left-clicking on 'Z' becomes 'A'.
  • Right-clicking on 'A' becomes 'Z'.

If your action causes all the changed letters to become correct, then the game will reveal that all of them are correct.

Example
  • Say the goal word is 'BUTTON', and you currently have 'ATSDEF'.
  • Say you click on 'T' to change the word to 'BUTDEF'.
  • Since the game has no incorrect letters to show you, it will inform you that all three letters 'BUT' are correct.
