Institutional White
This is the first block seen in-game, while also being a part of the game's tutorial. The meaning of these blocks revolve around sameness and similarity.
High Institutional White
The answer is a homophone of the hint.
(hi -> high)
Middle Institutional White
The answer is exactly the same as the hint, character by character.
(linglox -> linglox)
Low Institutional White
The answer is a synonym of the hint.
(bottom -> low)
Really Red
These color blocks take away/subtract from the hint. It's main mechanic consists of removing letters from the hint. It is the opposite of Really Blue.
High Really Red
Removing letter(s) from the hint while preserving the sound. The answer is a homophone of a part of the hint.
(brute -> route)
Middle Really Red
Removing letter(s) from the hint; spelling of the remaining letters is preserved. The answer is inside the hint.
(remove -> emo)
Low Really Red
Reduce the hint from a whole to a part conceptually.
(hand -> finger)
Really Black
This is the second block introduced in the game, being a part of the game's tutorial. The meaning of this block is some form of opposite depending on height.
High Really Black
Reverse the spelling, and then sound it out. The answer never preserves the spelling of the hint but should be a complete word.
(tube -> boot)
Middle Really Black
Reverse the spelling of the hint. Sometimes a palindrome.
(wolf -> flow)
Low Really Black
The answer is an antonym of the hint.
(hello -> goodbye)
Really Blue
This block adds to the hint. It's main mechanic consists of adding letters to the hint. It is the opposite of Really Red.
High Really Blue
The answer contains a homophone of the hint; spelling is not necessarily preserved.
(eye -> idea)
Middle Really Blue
Adds letter(s) to the hint; spelling of the remaining letters is preserved. (add -> addition)
Low Really Blue
Increase the hint from a part to a whole conceptually.
(flower -> bouquet)
New Yeller
Involves mixing/unscrambling the hint depending on the height.
High New Yeller
The syllables of the hint are moved around; spelling is not necessarily preserved.
(dark -> card)
Middle New Yeller
The answer is an anagram of the hint.
(nag a ram -> anagram)
Low New Yeller
The answer is the result of when you physically "unscramble" or take apart the hint.
(meat -> minced meat)
Magenta
This is a color that changes the hint into something similar yet different. In what way it changes depends on the height. This color is one of the earlier colors that are a little more challenging for new and old players alike.
High Magenta
The answer is a rhyme or a near-rhyme of the hint, more specifically, they are phonetic mutations.
(rhyme -> time)
Middle Magenta
Changing a few letters while preserving some structural anchor (first letter, last letter, internal chunk, frame, pre/suffix, etc.) of the hint gives you the answer.
(verdict -> predict)
Low Magenta
The answer is replacing a part of the hint conceptually.
(orange -> grapefruit)
Earth Green
This color wants environmental cues. (A.K.A. something around you.)
High Earth Green
The answer seems to be what the hint is pointing to phonetically.
(back -> look behind to see letter I on wall -> eye)
Middle Earth Green
The answer is what the hint is pointing to letter-wise.
(back -> look behind to see letter I on wall -> i)
Low Earth Green
The answer is what the hint is physically/conceptually pointing the user to.
(back -> look behind to see letter I on wall -> letter)
Deep Orange
This color seems to be about numbers and ciphers. Through a simple substitution cipher, "123 4567890" = "the cryptic", where each digit encodes a corresponding letter. It should be noted that this cipher is not universal, as certain areas use different ciphers, such as in The Museum of Oranges, which uses "agent horse" as its cipher.
High Deep Orange
The answer seems to be a combination of Deep Orange Middle and Institutional White High. Which is to say, decrypt the substitution cipher and find a homophone.
(235 -> hey -> hay)
Middle Deep Orange
Transliterate the numbers into letters using the cipher.
(5972 -> ripe)
Low Deep Orange
The answer is the numerical answer to a math equation.
(1 + 1 -> 2)
Medium Stone Gray/Grey
This serves as the chain connector between two prompts of different heights. It is referred to in-game as "Chain Indicator".
Reddish Brown
This color usually means "Time", meaning to move the hint forward in time in a certain way.
High Reddish Brown
The answer is forward in time phonetically.
(clew -> clue)
Middle Reddish Brown
Given an archaic word as a hint, the answer is the modern equivalent.
(hath -> have)
Low Reddish Brown
The answer is progress of time conceptually.
(princess -> queen)
Toothpaste
This color is about symbols, emojis and Unicode.
High Toothpaste
The answer is the symbol's homophone.
(1/2 -> have)
Middle Toothpaste
The answer is the symbol/special character spelled out.
($ -> dollar)
Low Toothpaste
The answer is the symbol/special character spelled out.
($ -> dollar)
Mint
This color is about memory. Every prompt references another prompt somewhere in the game that shares the same prompt, it is up to the player to remember what they wrote for that prompt somewhere else in the game before.
A special variation of this color are this color chains, which are a special type of chains that are entirely colored this color, including the chain indicators. These chains are identical to another chain anywhere in the map, and each individual prompt takes the property of the chain it is mimicing respectively.
High Mint
The answer is a reference to a sound that you saw somewhere before.
Middle Mint
The answer is a reference to a word that you saw somewhere before.
Low Mint
The answer is a reference to a concept that you saw somewhere before.
Lime Green
This color concerns taxonomy, where it goes from a hyponym to hypernym, or the general category from a specific example. It is the opposite of Hot Pink.
High Lime Green
The answer is the phonetic category of the hint.
(fire -> triphthong)
Middle Lime Green
The answer is the part of speech classification/grammatical category of the hint.
(hey -> interjection)
Low Lime Green
The answer is the real world/semantic category of the hint.
(peridot -> gemstone)
Hot Pink
This color concerns taxonomy, where it goes from a hypernym to hyponym, or examples from a generalized category. It is the opposite of Lime Green as seen in their conjunctive area.
High Hot Pink
The answer is a prototypical/canonical example from a phonetic/sound category.
(diphthong -> ow)
Middle Hot Pink
The answer is a prototypical/canonical example from a grammatical category, such as part of speech.
(article -> the)
Low Hot Pink
The answer is a prototypical/canonical example from a real world/semantic category.
(planet -> mars)
Lavender
This color is associated with creation in a wide variety of ways.
High Lavender
The answer is what the sound of the prompt would make, usually associated with objects that produce sound.
(cow -> moo)
Middle Lavender
The answer is what action the prompt can do, verbs are commonly used.
(plant -> grow)
Low Lavender
The answer is what the prompt can make or produce physically.
(chicken -> eggs)
Crimson
This color is all about patterns. There are two types of puzzles you can make with it:
It ignores all height rules and relies on another box it is tethered to for its color rule. For example, if it is tethered to a New Yeller, follow New Yeller's rule. If tethered to a Institutional White, follow Institutional White's rule.
Every this color prompt placed in a row follows a specific theme or pattern, For example, a prompt in the row could be answered with "the tower" and another with "the fool", following the theme of tarot cards.
Shamrock
This color is about lying. It is a checker-exclusive color, and may only be seen accompanying another prompt.
This color blocks may be lying about its height. For example, this color Middle may be a Low or High.
Block Stacking
If two blocks are placed together in a column, then their answers are the same. It doesn't matter if there are gaps in the columns or not. This rule may be broken to allow for different sides of the same block to have different answers because of chains (to let the player work out the chain step by step), or for certain word-play block colors.
Chains
If two blocks are connected in a horizontal line at the same height (or at different heights with chain indicators in between), then their rules combine. For example, if a middle yellow and blue block are combined this way, and the hint is "inch", then the answer would be "chain" (inch -> chin -> chain). Chains can also be condensed into a single block via coloring of the prompt, or with half-blocks. (Half blocks can be subdivided further, allowing for different colors to affect different words of the prompt.)
Checkering
Block colors can themselves be affected by other block colors, which is symbolized by a 2x2 checkered pattern of the two colors. The top left color is the base color rule to follow, and the top right color is the "checker", showing how that rule has been changed. Which color is the base and which is the checker can also be seen in the tooltip.
Hint Blocks
These are blocks that have only a hint on them. They are connected to another block, and the answer to that block will help you figure out the answer to the block it's connected to.
Other Indicators
Text can be placed on the sides or top of blocks to further affect their mechanics. (tildes, exclamation points, and quotation marks)
Exclamation points
Triple of these are placed on the side of two blocks chained together, and represent that the solution to the first block of the chain is not a real word. For example, a middle black and blue block chained together with these with the hint "raid" would first turn into "diar", then into "diary".
Quotation Marks
These are placed inside a hint and mean that the block's color rules only apply to the letters within these. For example, a middle black block with the hint " 'ac't " would be "cat", only reversing the a and c.
Tildes
These are placed on top of blocks and mean that the answer must be approximated, but otherwise are very close to their real answer. There can be one to three of these on a block, with each one representing further approximation.
