Guess the hidden 5-letter word in six tries. After each guess, the tiles flip:
right letter, right spot · right letter, wrong spot · not in the word
One puzzle per day on DAILY mode (resets at midnight UTC). Use RANDOM for unlimited play, or SHARE to copy your daily result as an emoji grid.
Wordform is a daily 5-letter word puzzle. You have six guesses to identify the day's secret word; after each guess, letter colors signal correctness — green for right letter and right position, yellow for right letter wrong position, gray for not in the word at all. The same secret word is shared across every player each day.
Type any valid 5-letter English word and submit. Letters color-code per the rules above. Use the feedback to narrow your next guess. Six guesses total; missing all six reveals the word.
Six guesses to find a 5-letter secret word. After each guess, every letter colors green (correct position), yellow (in word, wrong position), or gray (not in word).
High-coverage words testing common vowels and frequent consonants — ARISE, AUDIO, STARE, CRANE are popular. Maximize information from the first guess; specific opening matters less than disciplined narrowing afterward.
Yes — Wordform serves the same daily word to every player, so guess-score sharing works without spoilers.
Open with high-coverage words (ARISE, ROUTE, CRANE, SLATE) to surface as many letters as possible, then use remaining guesses to pin position.
Answers come from a list of 984 common five-letter words. Guesses are checked against a larger list of 14,855 five-letter words, and every answer is also accepted. A guess that is not in the list is rejected and does not use up a row.
Daily mode picks the answer from the number of days since January 1, 2026, counted in UTC. Everyone gets the same word, and it changes at midnight UTC, not your local midnight. Random mode picks from the same answer list and can be played as often as you like.
Each guess is scored in two passes. First, every letter in the right spot turns green. Then, left to right, each remaining letter turns yellow only if the answer still has an unclaimed copy of it. So if you guess two Es and the answer has one E, only one of your Es lights up, and if one E is already green, the other turns gray.
The on-screen keyboard keeps the best result for each letter: a key that has been green stays green.
Type on a physical keyboard (letters, Enter, Backspace) or tap the on-screen keys. When a daily game ends, win or lose, a prompt offers to share your result through your device's share menu, or copies it to the clipboard. The shared text shows the daily number, your guess count (X if you missed) and a grid of colored squares without any letters.
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.
After each guess, every letter tile changes color:
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
