Word Guessing Game

Guess the hidden word in a limited number of tries.

Word Guessing Game

Original word game using the local dictionary.

    Find the hidden 5-letter word in 6 tries. Filled square = right spot; underlined = in the word, wrong spot; grey = not in the word.

    Each guess must be a real word from the site's bundled English word list (SCOWL); invalid or repeated guesses don't use up a try. Hidden words come from a short original list of everyday words.

    How to use it

    1. Type a five-letter guess.
    2. Read the marks on each letter.
    3. Use the hints to find the word.

    Example

    Guessing HOUSE for TIGER marks E as in the word but in the wrong spot.

    Good to know

    • Hints use shape as well as color.
    • Guesses must be real words in the bundled SCOWL list; invalid or repeated guesses don't cost a try.
