Word Guess turned the humble five-letter word into a daily global ritual. You have six guesses to find a hidden word, and every guess is answered with colour: green for a letter that is right and in the right spot, yellow for a letter that is in the word but misplaced, and grey for a letter that is not there at all. The puzzle is shared by every player on the same day, which turned results into a friendly social scoreboard. This version adds a strict hard mode, an on-screen keyboard, and full statistics that track your games, wins, streak, and best run.
Type any five-letter word with your keyboard or tap the letters on screen, then press Enter to submit the guess. Each row of tiles flips to its colours, and the on-screen keyboard updates to show which letters are confirmed, misplaced, or ruled out. You have six rows to find the answer. Use every response as evidence. A green letter stays locked in place, a yellow letter must appear again somewhere else in the word, and grey letters should disappear from your vocabulary. Hard mode enforces this discipline by rejecting any guess that ignores the confirmed letters. Your statistics, including the all-important streak, are saved between days.
Green means the letter is correct and sits in the right position. Yellow means the letter appears in the word but somewhere else. Grey means the letter is not in the word at all, so you can stop using it in later guesses.
Yes. The daily puzzle resets each day and is the same for everyone, chosen from the date. That shared answer is what makes comparing results with friends so satisfying, and your running statistics stay saved so each new puzzle builds on your history.
Hard mode blocks guesses that waste information. Every guess must include the green letters in their exact spots and any yellow letters somewhere in the word, which rules out the lazy tactic of testing letters in a throwaway word. You have to work with the clues you have already earned.
