Introduction
Fairly simple android word game.
- Multiple coloured themes
- Multiple languages
- Look up word meaning
Guess those words
Tap letters on the keyboard to enter a guess. Use the Back key to backspace. When you have finished a guess, tap the Enter key. If you have guessed the word correctly, tap the Gurgle icon for the definition of the word.
Display colours
Letters which are in the word but in the wrong place will turn yellow. If they are in the right place they will turn green. If they are not in the word they will turn grey. Keep trying until you have guessed the word. The display will start again from the top if you run out of guesses.
Refresh
Tap the Refresh button in the toolbar to clear the display and guess another word. Words are chosen at random from a list, and are checked that they haven’t been used recently.
Meaning
Tap the word once it has been guessed to display the meaning.
Themes
Select coloured theme from the Theme button in the toolbar.
Language
Select Language from the menu.
Get code
Code
Enter the code shared by another copy of Gurgle to set the same sequence of words. Tap the refresh button to start the new sequence. You may also make up your own code. It doesn’t need the two equals symbols on the end (’=’), but will fail with just one.
QR code
Opens the camera app on the phone to take a photo of a QR code. The app will attempt to decode it. There are plenty of very good QR code and barcode scanner apps that do a better job.
Receiving a code
If the app is sent a code or a QR code image it will set a new sequence of words if the code is decoded successfully. This does not affect the current game. Tap the refresh button to start the new sequence.
Highlight Colours
A dialog will pop up showing two guesses, one containing some letters in the word in the wrong place and a correct guess, and two spectrums. Change the colour of the letters in the wrong place by tapping on the top spectrum, and the correct letters with the bottom spectrum. The Reset button will restore the default colours, The Cancel button changes nothing, and the OK button accepts the changes.
