Five Letters is a traditional game where you need to guess a word. The computer selects a secret word consisting of five letters, and you have six attempts to guess it.
After each guess, the tiles indicate how close you are: green means the letter is in the correct position, yellow means the letter is present in the word but in the wrong place, and gray means the letter does not appear in the word at all.
The game offers two modes: Word of the Day, where a new shared word is provided daily, and Endless mode, allowing you to play as much as you like.
Statistics are tracked automatically: the number of games played, win rate, current and best streaks, and guess distribution. Progress is saved automatically, and you can share your results with friends. If you're stuck, you can use a hint to reveal one letter.
The word list includes thousands of commonly used English words, ensuring that only real and recognizable words appear as answers.
You can play on your phone or computer, using the on-screen keyboard or your own.
How to play
Your mission is to crack the code of a hidden five-letter word within six attempts.
Start by typing any valid word and hitting Enter. If the word isn’t recognized, the input line will tremble — clear it with "⌫" and try again.
The tiles will signal your progress with colors: green confirms a letter in the correct position, yellow indicates it’s in the word but misplaced, and gray means the letter doesn’t belong. If you repeat a letter more than it appears in the answer, only the matching occurrences will turn color.
The virtual keyboard mirrors these color changes, helping you keep track of your findings.
You can also use your device’s keyboard: Enter submits your guess, while Backspace removes the last letter.
Each day brings a new Word of the Day, shared among all players. Feel free to pause and return later — your game state is saved. In Endless mode, the challenge never ends.
Feeling stuck? Use the "Hint" button to uncover a single letter. You get two hints per game.
Once you succeed, tap "Share" to copy your achievement to the clipboard.
