Wordhump

How to play

Find a hidden 5-letter word that sits alphabetically between 2 starting words. Every guess has to fall inside the current range and tells you whether the answer comes before or after it, so that boundary moves in to your guess. A counter shows how many valid words are left, and a hump on the range line shows which of 5 zones holds the answer. Guesses are unlimited, so the goal is to find it in as few as possible.
