How to play LetterGuess
Guess the hidden five-letter word in six attempts. After each guess, the tile colors help you narrow down the answer. Every day brings a fresh puzzle to solve.
Read the color clues
Green means the letter is in the right place. Yellow means it belongs somewhere else. Gray means it is not needed.
Solve it in six
Use what each row teaches you to find the answer. Your personal streak stays on this device.
Tip: pay attention to repeated letters. A word can contain the same letter more than once, and each tile gives feedback for that specific letter.
