Word Guess

Word Guess is a daily word puzzle where you have six attempts to figure out a hidden five-letter word. After each guess, colored tiles reveal how close you are: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word but in the wrong position, and gray means it's not in the word at all. It's a game of deduction, vocabulary, and process of elimination that took the world by storm.

1. Type a five-letter word and press Enter to submit your guess.
2. Green tiles show letters that are correct and in the right position.
3. Yellow tiles show letters that are in the word but in a different position.
4. Gray tiles show letters that are not in the word at all.
5. Use the color feedback to narrow down your next guess.
6. You have six attempts to find the hidden word.

• Eliminate vowels early — every word needs at least one.
• Pay attention to yellow letters — they tell you both what's in the word AND where it isn't.
• By guess 3 or 4, you should have enough info to narrow it down significantly.
