Daily Word
About Daily Word
Daily Word is a free five-letter word-guessing game with one new puzzle every day. You have six attempts to find the hidden word. After each guess, the tiles change colour to tell you how close you are: green means the letter is correct and in the right place, amber means it is in the word but in a different position, and grey means it is not in the word at all. Everyone plays the same word each day, so it is easy to share your result. No account or download needed.
How to play
- Enter any valid five-letter word as your first guess.
- Read the tile colours: green (right spot), amber (wrong spot), grey (not used).
- Use those clues to choose a smarter next guess.
- Crack the word within six tries to keep your streak alive.
What it trains
Daily Word blends vocabulary with deductive reasoning. Each guess is an experiment, and reading the feedback to narrow down the answer is exactly the kind of logical elimination used in problem-solving tests. Playing daily grows your word bank and sharpens the way you reason from limited clues.
Strategy tips
- Open with a word rich in common letters and vowels, such as RAISE or SLATE.
- Use your second guess to test another set of common letters you have not tried.
- Pay attention to amber letters — they belong somewhere else in the word.
- Watch for repeated letters, which are easy to overlook.
