Rule 01Guess the hidden five-letter word.

Type a real five-letter word and submit it. You have a limited number of guesses, and how many depends on today's difficulty.

Rule 02Every letter is marked after each guess.

A hit (✓) means that letter is correct and in the right spot. A present (•) means it's in the word but the wrong spot. A blank means the letter isn't in the word at all.

Rule 03A repeated letter is marked carefully.

If a letter appears twice in your guess but only once in the answer, only one of the two is marked hit or present — the other reads absent, even though the letter is in the word.

Rule 04Guesses allowed depend on difficulty.

Easy gives you 8 guesses and an answer with no repeated letters. Medium gives 6 guesses and allows one repeated letter. Hard gives 5 guesses and allows any word.
