Curious Mote Gaming — Sample Puzzle from The Journey Begins

What are

Chaos Letters

They are empty circles with question marks scattered within the letter grid. We call these ‘chaos letters,’ designed to add a touch of unpredictability to your puzzle-solving experience. Each circle can represent any letter—but only one specific letter per circle. This letter could appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a word from the puzzle’s word list — or it might not belong to any listed word at all. It’s up to you to figure out which letter fits. However, a word of caution: choosing the wrong letter could create duplicates from the word list, making it impossible to solve the puzzle successfully. If this all sounds a bit chaotic, please watch the short video below.
