Guess the new baby's name in 7 tries. Any real first name from 2 to 12 letters counts as a guess. Everyone in the family plays the same name. The leaderboard only shows how many guesses each person has used, so it gives nothing away about the name.
The length is a secret too. Solid empty beads must be filled; dashed ones are lengths that are still possible. Each guess you string narrows it down.
M is in the right spot. A is in the name, somewhere else. R, G, O, T aren't in it at all. Letters line up by position from the left, so a long guess still tells you about a short name.
The parents may add up to two clues. The first unlocks after your 3rd guess, the second after your 5th.
Practice gives you a random name to warm up on. It doesn't count toward the leaderboard.
Guesses are checked against U.S. Social Security baby-name records, 1880 to 2017: about 36,700 names given to at least 100 babies. The baby's name always counts, even if it's rare.
