Quenya, a language meticulously crafted by J.R.R. Tolkien, serves as the tongue of the immortal Elves, the Quendi. It was spoken by these ancient beings after their departure from Middle-earth to the blessed realm of Valinor.
Combining these elements with the characteristic features of Strands NYT puzzle games, we get an exciting Quenya word-guessing game - Quettale.
Whether you're a fan of this epic novel series or enjoy discovering new languages through puzzles, don't miss Quettale - a journey to collect the rings.
Before you start, let's take a quick look at the Quenya alphabet. You'll notice some special vowels like á, é, í, ó, ú. To create these, double the vowel. Keep in mind that in Quenya, C is equivalent to K, and J and Z are not used. For more details, click on the "i" icon.
Now, we can start filling in the first word. If you're new to this or don't have any clues, you can use the suggested words like ENDOR, YULMA, or MÁRIE.
Each of your guesses brings you closer to the solution! Quettale will give you clues with each try:
Green letters are in the exact place of the hidden word. Yellow letters are in the mysterious word, but in the incorrect location, so you'll need to move them around to turn them green. Gray letters aren't in the keyword at all.From your second attempt onwards, you'll rely on these clues to guide your guesses. Keep in mind that it may be challenging since you're dealing with a different language.
Here's a tip: While you're guessing, why not use Quenya vocabulary websites to help you out? It's a great idea to guess and search at the same time.
You have a total of 6 guesses, so choose wisely. Once you give the correct answer within 6 tries, the ultimate victory will be yours! If not, don't worry; we can try again tomorrow.
With a little practice, you'll get the hang of Quenya words and start achieving better results. You can do it!
