How to play
- Guess the secret word of the day. Its length changes with the weekday: 4 letters on Mondays, up to 8 on Sundays. Longer words give you more tries (8 to 10).
- Type a real word with the on-screen keyboard or your physical keyboard and press Enter.
- Every guess lights up a thermometer: the number tells how many letters your word shares with the secret one, wherever they are. Letters sitting in their exact spot get a golden pin.
- The thermometer doesn't say which letters match: compare your guesses to figure it out. The keyboard only marks what is certain (gold dot if it's in, gray if it's out), and the Notes button lets you add your own marks.
- There is a new word every midnight, the same for everyone; in Practice you pick the length and play as much as you like. When you finish, share your card with your streak.
Daily Word is a free, original word game by Iron Bucket Games: every day brings a secret word of 4 to 8 letters and a thermometer that tells you how close you are. It tracks your streaks and stats, has a high-contrast mode, unlimited practice and a spoiler-free card to share your result. Works on phones and desktop with no downloads.
