How to play
Type a word of the day’s length and press Enter. A solid tile marks a letter in the right spot, an outlined tile with a dot marks a letter that is in the word somewhere else, and a faded tile marks a letter that isn’t in the word. You have six guesses.
Scoring
Solve on the first guess for 100 points, losing 15 for every guess after: 100, 85, 70, 55, 40 or 25. No solve scores 0. There is no clock.
FAQ
Is the word the same for everyone?
Yes. Every reader on the site gets the same word today.
Can I play a day I missed?
Yes. Past games are unscored and listed on the game page.
