More about this game

Your goal is to deduce a hidden five-letter word in six guesses or fewer. Each time you submit a valid word, the grid tiles change color to show how close you are. Green means the letter is perfectly placed, yellow means it belongs elsewhere in the word, and grey means it is absent. The challenge ends when you correctly guess the word or exhaust your six attempts, updating your daily streak.

Tips
  • Start your first guess with a word containing multiple vowels and common consonants like R, S, or T to quickly eliminate letters from the board.
  • If a tile turns yellow, remember to move that letter to a completely different position in your next five-letter guess.
  • Pay close attention to the grey keys on your keyboard and do not reuse them, as they are completely absent from the daily secret word.
Questions

When do I get a new word to guess?

A new five-letter puzzle becomes available every day at exactly Midnight UTC. Everyone playing the game receives the exact same secret word to solve.

Why did my guess shake and get rejected?

The grid shakes if you submit a word with fewer than five letters or if your guess is not recognized in the accepted dictionary list.

What happens if I guess the same letter twice?

If you guess a double letter, the second tile only turns yellow or green if the secret word actually contains multiple copies of that specific letter.
