Word Guess

How to play Word Guess

Word Guess is a word puzzle: find the hidden five-letter word in six tries. Type any real five-letter word and press Enter. Each letter then changes colour to show how close you are, so every guess narrows down the answer.

A green letter is in the word and in the right place. A yellow letter is in the word but in a different place. A grey letter is not in the word at all. The keyboard keeps the colours too, so you can see which letters are left.

Choose Daily for the puzzle that is the same for everyone today, with a new word every day, or Practice for as many random words as you like. Stats shows your wins, how many guesses they took and your daily streak. Your game is saved in your browser as you play.
