Daily Word
Guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries — a new word every day
💡 Start with a word that has common vowels and consonants
What is Daily Word?
Daily Word is a free word-guessing puzzle: guess the secret 5-letter word in 6 tries. Every guess gives you color-coded feedback — green for a correct letter in the correct spot, yellow for a correct letter in the wrong spot, and gray for a letter that isn't in the word at all. One new word is published each day, and every player gets the same puzzle until it resets at midnight.
It's a quick daily habit that exercises vocabulary and deductive reasoning — no download, no sign-up, and your streak is saved automatically in your browser.
How to Play
- Type a guess: Enter any 5-letter word using your keyboard or the on-screen keys, then press Enter.
- Read the colors: Green means right letter, right spot. Yellow means right letter, wrong spot. Gray means the letter isn't in the word.
- Narrow it down: Use the feedback from each guess to eliminate letters and positions until you find the word.
- 6 tries: Solve it before you run out of guesses to keep your streak alive.
Tips for Solving Faster
- Open with a word that has several common vowels and consonants (e.g. one with A, E, and common letters like R, S, T, N).
- Avoid repeating a letter you already know is gray (absent) in later guesses.
- Use yellow-letter feedback to try that letter in a different position next guess.
- Save your last guess or two for testing multiple plausible words that fit the pattern.
- Play daily to build your streak — consistency matters more than any single win.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Daily Word game work?
Guess the secret 5-letter word in 6 tries. After each guess, tiles turn green if the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow if the letter is in the word but the wrong spot, and gray if the letter isn't in the word at all. A new word is chosen every day, and everyone gets the same word that day.
Does everyone get the same word each day?
Yes. The word for the day is chosen deterministically from the current date, so every player sees the same puzzle until midnight, when a new word is selected.
Is the Daily Word game free?
Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up. Your progress and streak are saved locally in your browser, so you can close the tab and come back later without losing today's game.
Can I share my result?
Yes. After finishing (win or lose), tap Share Result to copy a spoiler-free emoji grid of your guesses to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
What happens to my streak if I lose?
Your current streak resets to 0 if you use all 6 guesses without finding the word. Your best (max) streak is saved permanently, so you can always see your all-time record even after a loss.
