Guess the daily word in 6 tries. Each wrong guess or skip reveals another clue — part of speech, length, first letter, a usage sentence, the definition, and its origin.
Solving on try 1–6 earns 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2 points. Miss all six and you earn 0.
Reveal the bonus clue (tries 1–3 only) and the day's score is halved.
Play streak counts days played in a row. Correct streak counts days solved in a row. Complete a 7-day cycle to earn 7 points, or 14 if you solved every day.
Wordy Words is a free daily word guessing game for people who love language. There's one mystery word each day, the same for everyone, chosen from more than 550 rich, useful and interesting English words.
Instead of guessing letters in a grid, you guess the word from clues. Each wrong guess or skip reveals another: its part of speech, its length, its first letter, an example sentence with the word blanked out, its definition and, for most words, where it comes from. Clues are shuffled every day, with broader hints tending to come first and the strongest ones last.
You have six guesses. Solve it on your first guess for 12 points, or 10, 8, 6, 4 or 2 points on later guesses. Stuck early? The optional bonus clue reveals the theme the word relates to. It's available during your first three guesses, but it halves that day's score.
Play every day to grow your play streak, solve every day to grow your correct streak, and play seven days in a row for a cycle bonus of 7 points, or 14 if you solved all seven. Your Wordy Words results also count towards your combined Streakly totals and milestone badges. A new word arrives every day at midnight UTC.
