Word Guess — Daily Five-Letter Puzzle
Also try: Past puzzles (archive) · Today’s set
How to play
Guess today’s five-letter word in six tries — the same puzzle for everyone, plus unlimited practice. This is Free Word Puzzle’s own word guess game.
How to play
- Type any real five-letter word and press Enter.
- Walnut tiles are the right letter in the right place; slate tiles are in the word but elsewhere; stone tiles are not in the word.
- You have six tries.
Modes
Daily is one five-letter word for everyone until midnight UTC. Practice, on this same board, deals unlimited extra five-letter words; it is not a second daily, and the button is labeled Practice.
This board does not change length. Four letters are on 4-Letter Wordle, six letters on 6-Letter Wordle, and both of those are unlimited only. Wordle Unlimited is a separate five-letter game with no shared daily.
Tips
- Open with a word that uses several common letters, so the first row rules more letters in or out.
- A letter turns walnut or slate only as many times as it appears in the answer.
- Missed a day? The archive still has that edition.
FAQ
Is Word Guess the same as Wordle Unlimited?
No. Word Guess is this site’s daily word guess game: one shared five-letter word until midnight UTC, plus Practice for extra rounds. Wordle Unlimited is a separate five-letter game with no daily puzzle.
How do Daily and Practice differ?
Daily is the same five-letter word for everyone until midnight UTC, and reloading keeps that word and your guesses in this browser. Practice gives unlimited extra rounds on this board; press New for another word.
Can I play four-letter or six-letter words here?
Not on this board. Word Guess is five letters only. Four-letter and six-letter unlimited games are on their own pages.
How many guesses do I get?
Six. Each guess has to be a real five-letter word.
What do the tile colors mean?
Walnut is the right letter in the right place. Slate is in the word but in the wrong place. Stone is not in the word.
Is there a new word guess game every day?
Yes. The daily word changes at midnight UTC. Past daily puzzles stay in the archive.
