How to play Word
Word is a daily letter-guessing game: find the hidden word in six tries. Each guess colours (and marks) its tiles to tell you which letters are right, which are in the word but misplaced, and which are not in it at all.
Make your own Word puzzle and share it with a link.
How to play
- Type a real word of the right length and submit it.
- Each tile shows its result: correct spot, in the word but wrong spot, or not in the word — with a letter mark as well as colour.
- Use those clues to narrow the possibilities on your next guess.
- Solve it before you run out of guesses. A new word arrives every day.
Tips & strategy
- Open with a word rich in common letters and vowels to learn a lot fast.
- Never reuse a letter you have already learned is absent.
- Keep confirmed letters in place and shuffle the uncertain ones.
- Watch for repeated letters — the marks tell you when a letter appears more than once.
Accessibility
Every tile and on-screen key carries a mark as well as colour, so feedback never depends on colour alone, and the board plays fully with a physical keyboard.
