Daily Word

Frequently asked questions

How do you play Daily Word?

Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries. After each guess the tiles change colour: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the right letter in the wrong spot, and grey means the letter is not in the word.

What does a grey tile mean if I can see the letter elsewhere?

A grey tile means there are no more of that letter left to place. If the word has one E and you guess two, the extra E will show grey even though one of them is correct.

Does everyone get the same word each day?

Yes. The daily puzzle is set from the date, so every player gets the same five-letter word that day. A fresh word arrives the next day.

Can I play more than once a day?

Yes. Switch to Unlimited mode for endless rounds with a random word each time, while Daily mode keeps the one shared puzzle per day.
