Daily Word Guess

Daily Word Guess is a free online word game where you identify a five-letter word in six attempts. Play Daily Word Guess to improve vocabulary, spelling, and logical word deduction.

How Daily Word Guess Works

Guess the hidden five-letter word within six attempts. After each submission, the game uses colored tiles to show which letters are correct, misplaced, or not included in the answer.

Your Daily Challenge

A new puzzle gives you one hidden word to discover. Enter a valid five-letter word, study the feedback, and use the remaining attempts to narrow down the correct answer.

Understanding the Tile Colors

Green Tile

A green tile means the letter is correct and placed in the correct position.

Yellow Tile

A yellow tile means the letter appears in the hidden word but belongs in a different position.

Gray Tile

A gray tile means the letter is not used in the hidden word, or the word does not contain another copy of that letter.

Best Starting-Word Strategy

Begin with a word containing common letters and multiple vowels. Useful starting words include words with letters such as A, E, R, S, T, L, N, and O.

Avoid starting with repeated letters because testing five different letters usually provides more information.

How to Use the Clues

Lock Confirmed Letters

Keep every green letter in the same position for future guesses.

Reposition Yellow Letters

A yellow letter must be used again, but not in the position where it appeared.

Remove Unused Letters

Avoid gray letters unless the hidden word may contain repeated copies and only one copy has been ruled out.

Test New Letters

Use early guesses to check letters that have not yet appeared. This helps eliminate more possibilities quickly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Reusing gray letters without a reason.
Moving green letters from confirmed positions.
Placing yellow letters in the same incorrect position.
Guessing words with too many repeated letters early.
Ignoring the number of letters in the answer.
Entering random words that provide little new information.
