Wordie

Five letters. Six tries. You know the drill.

The Game

Guess the hidden word. Each guess tells you what you got right:

  • Green [G] - Right letter, right spot
  • Yellow [Y] - Right letter, wrong spot
  • Gray [ ] - Letter not in the word

Type your guess. Hit enter. Repeat until you solve it or run out of tries.

Daily Challenge

Same word for everyone, every day. Complete it to build your streak.

Miss a day? Streak resets. No mercy.

Hard Mode

For people who think the regular game is too easy.

When hard mode is on:

  • Green letters must stay in their positions
  • Yellow letters must appear somewhere in your guess

No more fishing with throwaway words. Every guess counts.

Toggle with hard in-game.

Timed Mode

Set a time limit. Race yourself.

timed 60        60 seconds per game
timed 30        30 seconds (sweaty)
timed off       Back to relaxed

Strategy

The classic opener debate: CRANE vs SLATE vs ADIEU vs ROATE.

Pick one. Stick with it. Or don't - we're not your mom.

What matters:

  • Cover common letters early
  • Pay attention to yellows - position matters
  • Gray letters are information too
  • Hard mode forces better habits
