5 Letter Word Game – guess the daily word

Guess a new five-letter word each day in your browser. You get five tries, clear color feedback after every guess, and a free game with no login or download.

Why five letters?

Five letters give you enough room to test patterns without making each guess feel too long. The page opens directly in the 5-letter mode, so every round has the same clear target: find today's English word in five attempts.

A fresh word each day

The daily target comes from a curated English word list. It is a real word, and the same target stays available for the calendar day so you can return to the puzzle without the answer changing.

Built for a quick browser round

There is nothing to install and no account to create. Open the page on a phone or desktop, enter a guess, and continue with the on-screen keyboard or your physical keyboard.

Rules for the 5-letter mode

Enter a valid five-letter English word and submit it. Green marks a letter in the correct position, yellow marks a letter that belongs in the word but sits elsewhere, and gray marks a letter that is not in the target. You have five guesses in this mode.

A broad dictionary for guesses

Your guess is checked against a broad English dictionary, while the daily answer comes from the smaller curated target list. That means a valid word can be useful as a guess even when it is not selected as a daily target.

Your result stays on your device

The game stores the current day's result locally in your browser. No login is required, and the game does not send your guesses to a server.
