About Manzil

Manzil is a free daily phrase-guessing game — a Pakistani take on hangman. Each day a hidden phrase drawn from famous dialogues, cricket chants, political one-liners, dramas, songs, sayings, street food, and places is spelled out in blanks. Guess letters one at a time: a correct letter appears everywhere it occurs, while every miss pushes a loyal rickshaw one mechanical mishap closer to never reaching its destination.

Rules and tips

Use the phrase pattern

Let the shape of the phrase do some of the work: word lengths, punctuation, and repeated letter positions can narrow the possibilities before you spend a guess. Use the cultural category as context, and attempt the complete phrase only when the pattern supports it.

Spaces and punctuation appear from the beginning, so read the blanks as a sentence rather than a row of unrelated words. Short connecting words can reveal the phrase’s rhythm, while repeated blank positions show where the same letter returns. Together, those signals can distinguish a quotation from a chant, title, saying, place, or dish.

Choose useful letters

Begin with letters likely to appear across several words, then adapt to the visible pattern. A correct choice fills every matching position at once; a wrong letter causes another rickshaw breakdown. The on-screen keyboard records what you have tried, so use it to avoid spending a miss on the same idea twice.

Tap the keys or type on a physical keyboard. Common Roman-Urdu spelling variants are accepted where provided. Focus on recognizing the phrase rather than reproducing its capitalization or punctuation exactly.

Know when to solve

A complete-phrase attempt can finish the puzzle immediately, but an incorrect solve costs one wrong guess. Wait until the word shapes, category, and revealed letters point to one convincing expression. If two phrases still fit, another careful letter is usually safer than sending the rickshaw toward an avoidable breakdown.

Daily play, progress, and sharing

A wrong complete-phrase solve costs one guess. A new puzzle arrives at midnight in your timezone, progress and streaks stay saved on this device, no account is required, and shared results never reveal a single letter.
