About Word Guess

Word Guess is the daily-style word puzzle you can play any time. A hidden word is chosen and you have six tries to find it. Type a real word of the right length and press Enter; each letter is colour-coded — green means right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else, and grey means it isn't in the word at all. The on-screen keyboard colours your used letters too, so you always know what's left to try. Pick a difficulty to change the word length: four letters is a gentle warm-up, five is the classic game, and six is a real challenge. It all runs in your browser — no signup, no download.

Frequently asked questions

A hidden word is picked and you get six tries to guess it. Type a word of the correct length and press Enter. After each guess the tiles change colour to show how close you are, and you use those clues to home in on the answer.

Green means that letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different spot. Grey means the letter is not in the word at all. Repeated letters are coloured correctly.
