The game's theme for the day is \"It's all Greek to me.\" Players are given various word clues, including \"MESSY,\" \"FRIED RICE,\" \"GOLD,\" \"HEIST,\" \"NASTY,\" among others, to unlock a hint system. There are 12 letters in today's spangram, and it touches the left side of the board, 8th row, and the right side, 6th row. The spangram word is \"MYTHOLOGICAL.\" The game's difficulty level is rated as \"Hard,\" and the player required three hints to complete it.",
