Frequently asked questions
How do I play WordDaily?
Guess the five-letter word of the day in six tries. After each guess the tiles change colour: green means the letter is in the right spot, amber means it is in the word but in the wrong spot, and grey means it is not in the word at all. A new word arrives at midnight, your local time.
Is the word the same for everyone?
Yes. The daily word is picked by a fixed formula from the date, so everyone playing the same edition on the same date gets the same word — perfect for comparing grids with friends.
What are the themed editions?
Alongside the Everyday edition there are two themed editions, each with its own word of the day and its own streak: At the Movies (cinema words) and Food & Kitchen (dishes, ingredients and kitchen words). You can play all three every day.
How does the streak work?
Win today's word to grow your streak; win again tomorrow to keep it going. Miss a day or run out of guesses and the streak resets. Your streaks and statistics are stored only in your browser, on your device — we never see them.
Is WordDaily free? Do I need an account?
It is completely free and there is no account or sign-up. The site is supported by ads.
I missed yesterday — can I see what the word was?
Yes. The Yesterday's Words page lists the answers for the past seven days in every edition, so you can check the word you missed without spoiling today's.
