Instructions

Guess a five-letter word in 6 tries. To start the game, type any five-letter word then press Enter. After you enter a word, the color of the tiles will change to show which of your chosen letters are in the final word.

1. If a letter is in the target word and in the correct place, the tile turns green.
2. If a letter is in the target word but in the wrong place, the tile turns yellow.
3. If a letter is not in the target word, the tile turns Gray.

You win the game when you guess the hidden word and all letters turn green. Letters can be used more than once.

Tips and tricks

1. Select a good starting word. You only have six chances to guess the word, so your starting word really matters. Start with a word that has at least two vowels and the most common consonants. A good start word will give you a better chance to score green and yellow letters as well as help you familiarize yourself with the patterns that develop from those letters.
2. Think about combinations. If you use combinations cleverly, you can win consistently. There are certain letters that regularly go together while others don't. For example, CH, ER, and ST. These letters are more likely to be next to each other. So you can think about possible forms the word might take.
3. Position letters. While some letters are likely to be the starting letter, some seem to appear at the end. For example, E is the most common ending letter and S is the most common starting one.
4. Take your time. Think carefully and take your time when playing the game. There is no time limit so don't rush.
