Free Word Guess Puzzle — Guess the 5-Letter Word Online

Word Guess is our take on the classic 5-letter word-guessing format. Guess the hidden 5-letter word in 6 tries — after each guess, tiles flip to show which letters are correct (green), present but misplaced (yellow), or absent (grey). It's a brilliant daily brain exercise that combines vocabulary, logic and deduction. Our free version lets you play as many games as you like across Easy, Medium and Hard word lists — no ads, no paywall, no account needed.

How does Word Guess work?

Type a 5-letter word and press Enter. Green tiles mean the letter is in the right spot. Yellow means the letter is in the word but wrong position. Grey means the letter is not in the word.

What's the difference between difficulty levels?

Easy uses a pool of nearly 600 common 5-letter words with 6 attempts. Medium uses less common words with 6 attempts. Hard uses the same less-common pool but only gives you 5 attempts.
