About this game
Word Guess is a five-letter word puzzle in the style made famous by daily word games — but here you can play as many rounds as you like. After each guess, the tiles change color: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but elsewhere, and gray means it isn't in the word at all.
With six guesses and a vocabulary of common English words, every round is a compact logic puzzle: each guess should squeeze the maximum information out of 26 letters. Build a winning streak, and see how long you can keep it alive. It's also a surprisingly effective way for English learners to drill common five-letter vocabulary.
How to play
- Type a five-letter English word and press Enter.
- 🟩 Green: right letter, right position. 🟨 Yellow: right letter, wrong position. ⬜ Gray: not in the word.
- You have six guesses. Use the colored on-screen keyboard to track what you've learned.
- Guess the word to extend your streak; fail and the streak resets.
Tips & strategy
- Open with vowel-rich words like ADIEU, AUDIO or RAISE to test common letters fast.
- Use your second guess to test five new letters instead of reusing known ones.
- Remember yellows must move: never repeat a yellow letter in the same position.
- Watch out for repeated letters — words like APPLE and SWEET are common traps.
Frequently asked questions

Any five letters are accepted as a guess, so you can use strategic 'probe' words freely. The hidden answers are always common English words.
Is there a daily limit?
No — unlike daily word games, you can play unlimited rounds here. A new word is picked randomly each round.
What's a good average?
Solving in 4 guesses on average is solid; consistent 3s put you in expert territory.
