You have to guess the word of the day (usually a 5-12 letter word). You start with the first letter revealed. By guessing words that fit given the letters revealed so far, you gradually arrive at the right answer.

Prefix looks a bit like Wordle, but it's actually based on the fantastic word game, Contact.
