Practice mode · random word

Practice without limits

In practice mode every game uses a random word from the game's list, never the word of the day. Play as many as you like to sharpen your deduction: practice stats are kept separately and your daily streak stays intact.

How to play

Guess the secret 5-letter word in 8 tries. There is a new word every day.

After each guess you will see three numbers:

  • 1 letters in the right spot
  • 1 letters in the word, but in another spot
  • 1 letters not in the word

The game never tells you which letters they are: that's for you to deduce!

BEARS131

The secret word is BREAD. In BEARS there is 1 letter in place (the B), 3 elsewhere (E, A, R) and 1 not in the word (the S).

Tap the letters of your guesses to mark them (🟥 → 🟨 → 🟩) and keep track of your deductions.

Use the _ key to leave tiles blank and sketch ideas (e.g. _O__N): it never costs a try. Letters you mark green show up as a guide in the row you're typing.

Only letters A–Z. Every guess must be a valid English word.
