Question 1

Is the Word Wheel the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is one wheel a day, the same for every player, and it changes at midnight in your time zone. The share card shows how far you got without giving any words away.

Question 2

Which words count?

Accepted Answer

Any real English word of four letters or more that uses the center letter, with each letter on the wheel used once. Our list is everyday words; rarer real words are accepted as bonus words and count towards your total. Names and rude words are never in.

Question 3

What are Good, Very good and Excellent?

Accepted Answer

Targets set by the size of the day's list: roughly a third of the words for Good, half for Very good and seven in ten for Excellent. Reaching Good counts the day for your streak.

Question 4

Where are the answers?

Accepted Answer

The full list for each day appears the next day: tap Yesterday at the top of the game. Words you found are ticked, and you'll see the nine-letter word if it got away.

Question 5

How do hints work?

Accepted Answer

A hint gives the length and first letter of a word you haven't found; another hint on the same word shows one more letter. Your first hint each day is free, and while Suvi is new more are on us, with no ad to watch.

Question 6

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Word Wheel is free with no account and no download, and it runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
