About Word of the Day

One five-letter word, six guesses, and the same puzzle for everybody in the world until midnight. Your streak is tracked on this device.

Green means the letter is in the right place, yellow means it is in the word but somewhere else, and grey means it is not in the word at all.

Type on the keyboard under the grid or on your own; Enter submits a guess and Backspace takes a letter back. Any real five-letter word is accepted, so a guess spent probing new letters costs you nothing but a row. When the word falls you can share a spoiler-free grid of your result, and the next puzzle lands at midnight.

How to play Word of the Day
