Every round of Wordle LOTR comes with two hints drawn directly from Tolkien’s legendarium. These clues describe the word’s identity, origin, or role in the stories of Middle-earth and are designed to reward players who know their lore — or to teach those who are just beginning to explore it. Both hints are visible from the very first moment of the round, so you never have to earn them.

​
The Two Hints

Each entry in the game’s dictionary is a wordItem object containing three text fields: explicacion (Hint 1), explicacion2 (Hint 2), and explicacion3 (not displayed in the current UI). Hints 1 and 2 are shown on screen below the letter grid, labeled Pista 1 and Pista 2 respectively. All hints are written in Spanish, which is the game’s primary language. Here are two real examples taken directly from the dictionary:
Word: Vilya
Pista 1: “el Anillo del Aire, el más magnifico de los Tres Anillos Élficos hechos por Celebrimbor, dado a Gil-galad, llevado por Elrond a Orodruin, llevado al otro lado del Mar, al final de la Tercera Edad.”
Pista 2: “El anillo más poderoso de los Tres de los Elfos.”
Word: Frodo
Pista 1: “Noveno-Portador, el sobrino de Bilbo, portador del anillo.”
Pista 2: “El protagonista central de la lucha contra Sauron.”
Notice that Hint 1 tends to give a richer, more detailed description — sometimes including the word’s etymology, history, or relationships — while Hint 2 is a shorter, more direct summary statement. Using both together gives you the best chance of identifying the word without needing to reveal the answer.

​
Reveal Answer

If you have made 3 or more attempts and still haven’t found the word, a green button appears below the Aceptar button: “Presiona aqui para ver la respuesta” Tapping it sets the showAnswer flag to true, and the hidden word is displayed in large white text on screen (styled via answerText at fontSize: 22, fontWeight: bold). The answer is rendered exactly as it appears in the dictionary — with original casing (e.g., Vilya, not VILYA). Once the answer is shown, it stays visible for the remainder of the round. Pressing Nueva Palabra resets the attempt counter and other state, but showAnswer is not explicitly cleared in the reset flow — the answer text persists until the app session ends or the component unmounts.
The reveal button intentionally only appears after 3 or more attempts (counter >= 3). This gives you a meaningful window of challenge — enough attempts to apply the color feedback and both hints — before the answer is made available. Skipping straight to the answer on the first guess is not possible by design.

​
Confetti on Win

When your submitted guess matches the secret word exactly (compared case-insensitively via .toUpperCase() on both sides), the game sets showConfetti to true and a confetti animation fires. The cannon originates from the horizontal center of the screen at a fixed y-position of 80 (near the top), raining 120 particles downward with a fade-out effect. The animation cleans up automatically when it finishes — onAnimationEnd resets showConfetti to false. A success message, “¡Excelente!”, also appears in green (#60ce4a) in the message area between the grid and the hints.
The confetti effect is powered by the react-native-confetti-cannon package. The fadeOut={true} prop means the particles gradually become transparent as they fall, giving the celebration a smooth, polished finish rather than an abrupt cut-off.

​
New Word

The Nueva Palabra button at the bottom of the screen completely resets the round. When pressed, it increments a refresh counter in state, which triggers a useEffect that performs all of the following in a single re-render cycle:
  • Selects a new random word from the full dictionary (Math.floor(Math.random() * dictionary.length))
  • Clears the text input (char → '')
  • Resets the color array (colors → []), returning all tiles to dark gray
  • Clears the feedback message (mensaje → '')
  • Resets the attempt counter (counter → 0), which hides the reveal button (note: showAnswer is not explicitly reset by this flow — if the answer was already displayed, the answer text remains visible until the component unmounts or the app restarts)
  • Clears the confetti state (showConfetti → false)
The new word’s hints (Pista 1 and Pista 2) appear immediately, and the grid resizes to match the new word’s length — so a 3-letter word like Sam will show 3 tiles while a 7-letter word like Angband will show 7.
