How it works

Six tries, five letters, one word a day. The rules fit in a paragraph, which is the point.

Colours

ColourMeaning
GreenRight letter, right spot.
AmberRight letter, wrong spot.
GreyNot in the word at all.

Streaks

Finish the board and your streak grows by one. Miss a day and the sprout resets — no penalties, no ads begging you to come back.

Word list

Common English five-letter words only: no plurals of plurals, no proper nouns, no abbreviations. About 2 300 words in rotation.

Accessibility

Colour is never the only signal — solved tiles also carry a letter-position marker for screen readers.
