Daily Word Puzzle
Free daily word puzzle #… — guess the five-letter word in six tries. Green and yellow hints, streak tracking, one new puzzle every day. Same word for everyone.
Quick Answer
Daily Word is a once-a-day word puzzle: guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries. After each guess, letters turn green (right letter, right spot), yellow (right letter, wrong spot), or gray (not in the word). There is exactly one puzzle per day — the same word for every player — and your solve streak is saved locally, so coming back daily is the whole game. Free, no sign-up, runs entirely in your browser.
How It Works
Type a five-letter word and press Enter
Green = right spot, yellow = wrong spot, gray = not in the word
Use up to six guesses to find the daily word

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play the daily word puzzle?
Type any five-letter word and press Enter. Each letter of your guess is graded: green means the letter is in the word and in the right position, yellow means it is in the word but in a different position, and gray means it is not in the word at all. Use those hints to narrow down the answer within six guesses.
Is the word the same for everyone?
Yes. Everyone playing on the same calendar day gets the same word, which makes results shareable and comparable — solve in three while a friend takes five. The puzzle resets at midnight UTC, and the page shows a countdown to the next word.
What is a good score?
Most solvers land in the 3–5 range. Solving in 1 or 2 involves real luck (the opening guess happens to hit), while a consistent 4 with strong opening words is the mark of a good strategy player. Failing all six breaks your streak.
What are the best starting words?
Pick openings dense in common letters: CRANE, SLATE, CRATE, TRACE, and AUDIO each cover frequently-used vowels and consonants. Follow with a second word covering the remaining common letters (like MOUNT or CHIMP) before committing to an answer.
How does the streak work?
Win on consecutive days and your streak grows; miss a day or fail the puzzle and it resets to zero (your best streak is kept forever). Streaks are stored in your browser locally — no account, nothing uploaded.
