A Wordocious daily game mode
7-letter words and 8 guesses — the long-word endgame

Guess a hidden 7-letter word in eight tries — the longest solo word in Wordocious. Type a real word and press enter; each tile changes color to help you: PURPLE means the letter is correct and in the right spot, AMBER means it is in the word but a different spot, and GRAY means it is not in the word. Keep guessing until the row turns all purple.
You also get two optional hints — reveal one vowel and one consonant from the answer. Each appears as an extra row with the letter already in its correct spot, adds an extra row to your board, and subtracts 75 points from your score, so save them for when you are truly stuck.
Win base 1,000, a 240-point bonus per unused guess, and up to 192 speed points scaled by how far under the seven-minute cap you finish — always worth less than one guess, so efficiency outranks pace. Completion adds 200. An efficient five-guess solve carries a 720-point guess bonus.
Because the time cap is generous (7:00), Seven rewards methodical play more than raw speed — a careful 3:00 solve in five guesses beats a frantic 1:30 solve in eight.
A huge share of seven-letter answers end in -ING, -TION, -MENT, -ABLE, -ER, or -EST. One mid-game guess engineered to test a suffix hypothesis (e.g. placing -ING) can collapse hundreds of candidates into a handful.
With eight rows you can afford a two-word opening that covers ten distinct letters — try AUCTION then FRESHLY style pairings. By row three you will already have tested most of the alphabet, so the back half of the game becomes placing known letters rather than discovering new ones.
Sevens love doubles: LL, SS, EE, TT. If your placed letters leave a two-slot gap that nothing common fits, test a double before assuming a rare consonant.
The candidate space at seven letters narrows naturally with each row, so a hint on row six resolves genuine ambiguity, while a hint on row two duplicates what normal play would have told you anyway. Same 150-point price — vastly different value.
