How the daily challenge works
Form a 7-letter word and submit it. After each attempt, the letters show whether they’re in the right place or in the word but somewhere else, so every try gets you closer. You have five attempts.
The word changes at midnight and it’s the same for everyone who plays in your language, which makes it easy to compare results with friends.
How points are calculated
Your score depends on the attempt in which you solve it, plus a time bonus of up to 35 points that drops by 7 every minute and is gone after five minutes. The maximum is 135 points.
| Solved on | Base points |
|---|---|
| 1st attempt | 100 |
| 2nd attempt | 80 |
| 3rd attempt | 60 |
| 4th attempt | 40 |
| 5th attempt | 20 |
Streaks and reminders
Play every day to build your streak. There are achievements for streaks from 3 to 180 days, and you can set a daily reminder so you never miss a word.
A season ranking for the challenge
Daily challenge points add up over the whole season. When it ends, the top 3 players in each language receive a badge, so consistency matters more than one lucky day. Seasons work the same way as in ranked 1v1.
Carefully chosen words
Daily words come from curated lists for each language, not from random dictionary entries, so you won’t get obscure abbreviations. They follow a fixed order, so no word repeats for years.
Frequently asked questions
What time does the word change?
At midnight, according to the date on your phone.
Can I play the daily challenge offline?
Yes. The word lists are built into the app, so the challenge works without a connection. See what else you can play offline.
Can I play the same challenge twice?
No. Each daily challenge can only be played once, so everyone competes on equal terms.
