Rules for the game "Words"

Objective

Guess the 5-letter secret word in 6 tries or fewer.

Try to guess the word in the least number of attempts

Keep the longest daily streak for guessing the word correctly

How to Play

Each guess must be a valid 5-letter English word.

Press Enter to submit a guess.

After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.

Tile Color Meanings

Green: The letter is correct and in the correct position.

Yellow: The letter is in the word but in the wrong position.

White: The letter is not in the word at all.

Additional Rules

Letters can be repeated.

A letter will only be marked once per position. For repeated letters, correct placement is prioritized.

You have exactly 6 attempts to guess the word correctly.
