Wordform is a free daily five-letter word puzzle: six guesses, color-coded feedback, one shared secret word per calendar day. It is an original design on Board Gaming Hub — not a clone with ads bolted on — and it runs entirely in your browser with no account required.
How the feedback works
After each guess, every letter tile changes color:
- Green — correct letter, correct position.
- Yellow — correct letter, wrong position (the letter appears elsewhere in the answer).
- Gray — letter is not in the word at all.
Duplicate letters follow the same constraint logic as mainstream daily word games: if the answer contains one E, only one E in your guess can turn green or yellow.
Strong opening words
Your first guess should test common vowels and frequent consonants. Popular openings include ARISE, CRANE, SLATE, STARE, and AUDIO. The best opening is whichever word you will actually remember tomorrow — consistency beats chasing a perfect theoretical opener.
On guess two, combine confirmed greens with new consonant probes. Avoid repeating gray letters unless you are testing for a rare double (e.g. LL or EE).
Daily vs random mode
Daily serves the same word to every player until local midnight, which makes the share feature meaningful. Random draws a new word each round for unlimited practice. Use Daily for the social ritual; use Random to drill openings and hard-mode discipline.
Sharing without spoilers
Tap SHARE after a Daily win (or a close loss) to copy an emoji grid to your clipboard. The grid encodes your guess pattern — green, yellow, and gray squares — without revealing the answer word. Paste into a group chat or social post so friends can compare streak difficulty.
When you are stuck
If three guesses leave you with only one green vowel, switch to a structural word: try common endings (-IGHT, -OUND, -ATCH) or consonant-heavy frames like TH and CH. On guess five, prioritize ruling out remaining consonants over clever vocabulary — elimination wins more dailies than rare words.
