What do the colors mean?

Each guess gets a heat color by rank: green is the answer itself, red means extremely close (top 10), orange is very close (top 50), yellow is close (top 100), blue is cool (top 500), and grey means you are cold. The trail of colors is what you share, never the answer.

Can I play past puzzles?

Yes. Earlier puzzles are replayable from the archive, and endless mode deals a fresh random word whenever you want another round.
