Guess the hidden word in six tries. Type a word of the right length and press Enter. Each letter then turns violet if it is in the word and in the right place, orange if it is in the word but somewhere else, and slate if it is not in the word at all. Every guess has to be a real word.
Five words, one of each length from four letters to eight, each drawn from rarer words than the last. Run out of tries and the word is shown, and you move on to the next one.
Open with a word of common, different letters, and use each guess to rule letters out as much as to place them. A letter can appear in the word more than once.
A new day starts at midnight UTC. Your progress is kept in this browser, so you can leave a day half done and come back to it, and every day already published stays playable from the archive.
