Word Guess is a fun 5 letter word game similar to Wordle. You have 6 attempts to guess the secret word, using color-coded feedback to guide your guesses toward the answer.
Start with words that use common letters like E, A, R, T, O. Your first guess should contain different letters to maximize information. Use the keyboard colors to track which letters you've eliminated.
Fun Fact: The optimal starting word debate continues among word game enthusiasts. Popular choices include CRANE, SLATE, and ADIEU - each maximizes common letter coverage!
Guess the secret five letter word in six tries. After each guess the tiles grade you: green means right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but placed wrong, and gray means it is not in the word at all. Win rounds back to back to build a streak, and your best streak is saved.
You have six guesses and every one returns three kinds of information: letters in the right place, letters in the word but misplaced, and letters not in the word at all. An opening word with five different common letters extracts the most from that first guess, because every tile tells you something new. E, A, R, O, T, L, S and N are the workhorses of English, and words like CRANE, STORE or SLATE test a good spread of them at once.
After the first guess the game becomes elimination. Each yellow letter has to move somewhere it has not been tried, each green letter is fixed, and each gray letter is gone. Players who treat the second guess as a second probe rather than an attempt to win tend to finish in fewer tries overall.
Six. Each guess grades every letter as green for right letter in the right place, yellow for right letter in the wrong place, or gray for not in the word.
One with five different common letters, so every tile teaches you something. CRANE, STORE and SLATE are popular openers for exactly that reason.
Yes. If the puzzle refuses to resolve after you have placed a letter once, consider that it might appear twice.
