How Daily Word Puzzle works
You guess an English word letter by letter. After each attempt, tile color shows whether a letter is correct, in the word but in the wrong spot, or not in the word at all. Daily Word Puzzle is its own build with its own word lists, not a copy of any brand-name game.
Three modes: 4, 5, and 6 letters
Attempts match the word length: 4 in the 4-letter mode, 5 in the 5-letter mode, 6 in the 6-letter mode. Each mode runs once a day; after that the page shows your result for that day.
Kind of words
Daily words come from common everyday vocabulary: nouns, verbs, and adjectives, picked by frequency in real English text. Technical terms, abbreviations, and personal names are deliberately excluded.
Color feedback and an on-screen keyboard
The on-screen keyboard remembers letters you've already tried, including their status, so your next guess shows what's already ruled out. On desktop, type with your physical keyboard instead.
Rules in detail
A valid guess is a real English word of the matching length, checked against a broad dictionary rather than just the most common words. Green means the letter and position are both right. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. Gray means the letter isn't in the word at all. Repeated letters in the target word are scored correctly even when your guess repeats them too. After your last attempt, the page reveals the word if you didn't win.
