HOW TO PLAY
Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries.
THE BASICS
Type any real five-letter word and press Enter. After each guess, the tiles change color to show how close you were:
Green: P is in the word and in the right spot.
Yellow: I is in the word but in a different spot.
Gray: U is not in the word at all.
Use what you learn from each guess to narrow it down. The on-screen keyboard keeps track of the colors for you.
DAILY
The main event. Every day there is one shared word — the same for everybody — and you get one game per day. A new word arrives at midnight (Pacific time). You need to be signed in so your result lands on the leaderboard.
Solving it fast earns more points: 6 points for getting it in one guess, 5 in two, down to 1 point in six. Miss it and you get 0 — and it snaps your streak.
PRACTICE
Warm-up mode: unlimited games with random words, any time. Practice games don't count for points or streaks — they're just for fun (or for plotting your daily opener).
LEADERBOARD
See who has finished today's puzzle and how everyone stacks up all time: total points, games played, win rate, average guesses, and current streak. Solve the daily three days in a row and you earn the 🔥.
