A daily five-letter word puzzle
One word a day, six chances to find it. Daily Word Guess is a quick vocabulary puzzle for your morning chai: type any five-letter word, and the coloured tiles tell you which letters are right, which are in the wrong place and which aren't in the word at all. Use those clues to close in on the answer. Your streak and stats are saved on your phone, and you can share your result grid on WhatsApp without giving away the word.
How to play
- Type a five-letter word and press Enter.
- 🟩 right letter, right spot · 🟨 right letter, wrong spot · ⬜ not in the word.
- Find the word within six guesses. A new puzzle unlocks at midnight.
Tips for solving faster
- Start with common letters — words with A, E, R, S, T and two vowels give the most information.
- Use every clue: keep green letters in place and move yellow ones to new spots.
- Watch for doubles like the two Ls in “label” or the two Es in “sheep”.
Example
Suppose the answer is PAPER. You open with APPLE: A is yellow, the first P is yellow, the second P is green, L is grey and E is yellow. Next, PAPER fits every clue — five greens in two guesses.
