Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I enter an invalid word?

If your word is too short or not in our dictionary, the row will shake and flash red. This means you need to try a different word. Don't worry, it won't count as one of your guesses!

What happens if I run out of turns?

If you use all 6 attempts without guessing correctly, the hidden word will be revealed. You can then immediately start a new game.

Is there a daily limit?

Nope! Play as many times as you like. You can keep training your brain and improving your vocabulary with unlimited games.
