Word Guess is an addictive word puzzle game where you have 6 attempts to guess a hidden 5-letter word.

Play the daily puzzle or switch to unlimited mode for endless word-guessing fun. Free to play at Skorven — no downloads needed.
The rules are simple but the challenge is real. Type a valid 5-letter word and press Enter to submit your guess. The game provides instant feedback with colored tiles:
Use these clues to narrow down the possibilities and guess the word before you run out of tries.
Choose a first word that contains common letters. Words with vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and frequently used consonants (R, S, T, L, N) give you the most information. Popular openers include CRANE, SLATE, AUDIO, and RAISE.
Use your first two guesses to test as many different letters as possible. Avoid reusing gray letters — the on-screen keyboard highlights which letters have been eliminated.
Yellow letters are in the word but in the wrong spot. Try them in different positions in your next guess. Green letters stay locked in place — build around them.
Common English word endings (-TION, -IGHT, -OUND) and beginnings (SH-, TH-, CR-) can help you narrow down options when you have a few confirmed letters.
A new word every day, the same for all players worldwide. Solve it and share your result grid with friends — no spoilers, just colored squares showing your path to the answer.
