Question 1

Is there a new word every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is one Word Guess a day, the same word for every player, and it changes at midnight in your own time zone. Past days are in the archive.

Question 2

Can I play more than one a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After today's word, Play again gives you practice words, as many as you like. They're picked from the same list of everyday words and don't count towards your streak.

Question 3

What do the marks mean?

Accepted Answer

A solid teal tile with a dot: the right letter in the right place. An amber ring: the letter is in the word but in another place. A pale tile with the letter struck through: not in the word. Each mark has its own shape, so you never need to tell colors apart.

Question 4

What is Hard mode?

Accepted Answer

Switch it on in Settings before your first guess. Any letter you've found must then be used in your later guesses: letters in the right place stay there, and ringed letters must appear somewhere. The share card says when you played on Hard.

Question 5

How does Reveal a letter work?

Accepted Answer

Once a day it shows one letter of the answer in its right place, the first place you haven't found yet. While Suvi is new it's free, with no ad to watch. The share card says when you used it.

Question 6

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Word Guess is free to play with no account and no download. It runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
