Guess the hidden 5-letter English word in six attempts. Every guess must be a valid English word. After each guess, the tiles reveal useful clues. In the Daily and Random games, your solving time is saved with your result.
What the tile colours mean
A
Green
The letter is in the word and in the correct position.
B
Yellow
The letter is in the word, but in a different position.
C
Gray
The letter does not appear in the word.
Daily and Random HighFive
Random HighFive
A different daily word for every player, with its own streak and leaderboard.
Score smart
Every solve earns a score.
How scoring works
Daily and Random games start at 60 points. Each guess costs 10 points, and reusing a letter you already know is absent costs one extra point.
Featured game modes
5-Minute Marathon
Guess as many words as you can before five minutes end.
How it works
Each solved word brings a fresh grid and a new word. You get one hint per game and can chase your personal best on the Marathon leaderboard.
Quick HighFive
A fast, score-chasing game against the clock.
How it works
Each word starts with 60 seconds. A new misplaced letter adds 3 seconds and a new correct-position letter adds 5 seconds. Remaining time carries into the next word.

Quick tips
Use each guess to gather information
Early guesses are most useful when they test several different letters. Pay close attention to letter position after each tile update.
Remember that yellow letters need to move
A yellow tile means the letter belongs in the answer, but not in that position. Try it in a different slot on your next guess.
