Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about playing and winning.

Guess the Word is a daily word puzzle game where you have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the tiles change colors to show how close your guess was to the word.

You win by correctly guessing the hidden 5-letter word within 6 tries. Green tiles indicate a correct letter in the correct spot, while yellow tiles mean the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.

The difficulty varies day by day. Some words are common and easy to guess, while others are obscure or use tricky letter combinations. You can enable 'Expert Mode' for an extra challenge.

The original classic mode features one puzzle per day. However, there are practice modes and archives available on some platforms where you can play unlimited puzzles.

If you fail to guess the word in 6 tries, the game ends and the correct word is revealed. Don't worry! A new puzzle is available the next day to try again.
