About this game
Word Guess is a quick daily brain-teaser for English learners and word lovers. A five-letter English word is hidden, and you have six guesses to find it. Each guess gives you colour hints: green for the right letter in the right place, yellow for a letter that belongs somewhere else, and grey for letters that are not in the word.
The daily word changes at midnight IST and is the same for all players, so families, classmates and office groups can compare scores. The answers are more than 700 common words, while guesses can be any of about 2,500 valid words. Practice mode gives unlimited new words, and Hard mode adds an extra challenge.
Free to play · no sign-up · no ads · your best scores are saved only on this device.
