Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Word Guess?
A target word is randomly selected from a curated pool of common 5-letter words. Each guess is validated against a larger dictionary. Letter evaluation uses a two-pass algorithm: first marking exact position matches as green, then scanning remaining letters for wrong-position matches as yellow, ensuring each answer letter is consumed only once. Stats including win streak and guess distribution persist in localStorage.
How does the color coding work?
Green means the letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position. Gray means the letter is not in the word at all. Use these clues to narrow down the answer.
Are my stats saved?
Yes. Your win/loss record, current streak, best streak, and guess distribution are saved in your browser. Come back anytime to see your overall performance.
Is there a new word every day?
You can play as many rounds as you want. Each game generates a new random 5-letter word from the built-in dictionary, so there is no limit on how many puzzles you can solve.
