What is Letterkin?

Letterkin scores the alphabet you use rather than the length of your answers. Supply five different words that answer the clues, trying to reuse letters across them so the total number of distinct letters stays low

Accepted answers lock in place, and there is no timer. The daily game saves progress in the browser and offers past editions for practice

How to play Letterkin

Choose a clue and type an English word of at least three letters. Check its new-letter cost before locking it in, then solve the remaining clues
