Word Guess — frequently asked questions
- How do you play Word Guess?
- Guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries. After each guess, a teal check marks a correct letter in the correct spot, a violet dot marks a right letter in the wrong spot, and gray means the letter isn't in the word.
- What is the best starting word?
- Open with a word rich in common letters and vowels, such as CRANE, SLATE or ADIEU. The goal of the first guess is to test as many frequent letters as possible, not to solve it early.
- Can I play unlimited rounds?
- Yes. Word Guess has no daily limit — play as many rounds as you like, free and with no login.
