Anvilogram: a daily word puzzle

How to play

The board holds all 26 letters of the English alphabet. A hidden 7–10 letter word with no repeated letters is made from some of them.

Numbers above each column, left of each row and along each tilted diagonal say how many letters need to be hammered, meaning they're not in the final word. The ones that remain are the ones to Pick.
Hammer the letters you know are wrong. For example, if a row has 3 squares and the number in front of it is 3, all of them need to be hammered: none of those letters are in the final word.
Pick the letters you think are in the word. They go into the final word for unscrambling.
Choose Hammer or Pick above the board: a click or tap uses the chosen tool, and a right-click uses the other one. Clicking a picked or hammered square again resets it.
Reorder the found letters into a meaningful word. Once you're done, submit it!
Once you believe you have all the letters, press Letters forged! to get the beginning and the end of the word. But be careful! Only press it if you're quite certain you've found them all. 3 strikes and the game is lost! You can win without pressing Letters forged!, but if you're confident about the letters, it gives you free help with the final anagram.

There's one new puzzle every day at midnight, your local time, and everyone gets the same one.
