Un llythyren, un sgwârOne letter, one square
These are single letters of the Welsh alphabet, so each one fills just one circle — and each is one tap on the keyboard.

So llong is three letters — ll·o·ng — not five.
DechreuwrBeginner is different
On Beginner any letters count as a guess, even if they do not spell a word. Try a letter to find out whether it is in there — the keyboard dims what you have ruled out, the first letter is free, and another appears whenever you need one. Take as many goes as you like; every word is within reach.
On the other tiers a guess must be a real Welsh word.
Y tiersThe tiers
- DechreuwrBeginner — 2 or 3 or 4 letters, unlimited guesses, with a picture
- DysgwrLearner — 4 or 5 letters, 8 guesses, with the English word
- UwchAdvanced — 5 letters, 6 guesses
- MeistrMaster — 6 or 7 letters, 5 guesses, hard mode
YmarferPractice
Every tier above Beginner has a practice round beside it on the home screen. Practice words never count towards your streak and never appear in a group table, so there is no cost to trying one first. Beginner needs no practice mode — it is already unlimited.
PwyntiauPoints
Points only matter when you play with friends, and they exist so a learner and a fluent speaker can share one table. Two things decide them: how hard the tier is, and how few guesses you took.
So a clean DechreuwrBeginner beats a scraped-home UwchAdvanced, but a good UwchAdvanced beats any DechreuwrBeginner. Playing an easy level well is worth more than playing a hard one badly — and nobody is shut out of the top of the table for starting where they are.
