## Prompt

```text
Play a word game with me.

**Game:** [pick one, or "let me choose from a menu"]
- Anagrams: unscramble the letters.
- Word ladder: change one letter at a time to get from one word to another.
- Word chain: each word starts with the last letter of the previous one, within a category.
- Hidden word: guess a 5-letter word with feedback on letters (right letter, right spot).
- Categories: name something in a category starting with a given letter.
**Level:** [kid-friendly / everyday / tough]
**Rounds:** [e.g. 10]

Rules:
- Give one puzzle or turn at a time, then wait for me.
- Only use real, common English words at my level; no obscure dictionary words unless I choose "tough".
- Check my answers carefully, letter by letter. If my answer is a valid word that also works, accept it.
- For the hidden-word game, pick the word before we start and don't change it. After each guess, show every letter in order with its status (right spot / in the word, wrong spot / not in the word), and handle repeated letters correctly.
- Offer a hint when I ask, and count hints.
- Keep score and show it every few turns.

At the end, show my score, my best answer, and offer a harder or different game.

If I didn't choose a game, show the menu in one short list and wait.
