About this game
Word Guess is a brain-teasing daily-style puzzle where you have six tries to uncover a secret five-letter word. After every guess each tile changes color to give you clues: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means it is in the word but somewhere else, and gray means it is not in the word at all. Use logic and a sharp vocabulary to narrow down the possibilities and solve it before your guesses run out. Quick to pick up and endlessly replayable, it is the perfect bite-sized challenge for word lovers.

Tips & tricks
- Open with a word rich in common vowels and consonants to gather clues fast.
- Keep the green letters fixed in place and rearrange the yellow ones.
- Don't reuse letters you already know are gray — they waste a guess.
- Watch for double letters; a color only counts as many times as it appears.
