About Word Guess
Word Guess gives everyone in the world the same secret five-letter word each day, and a new one appears at midnight UTC. You have six attempts, and after every guess each letter is coloured to show how close you are.
Your daily result is saved in your browser, and you can share a spoiler-free emoji grid with friends. Once you finish, play unlimited practice words. Practice rounds do not count for the leaderboard.
Tips and strategy
- Open with a word that uses common, different letters.
- Use the second guess to test new letters rather than repeating known ones.
- Remember that a letter can appear twice, and yellow only accounts for each copy once.
- Fewer attempts and no hints give the highest score.
How to play
- Type or tap a five-letter word and press Enter.
- Green means the right letter in the right place.
- Yellow means the letter is in the word but elsewhere.
- Grey means the letter is not in the word.
- Stuck? Use a hint for a 50-point penalty.
