How El Word works
Each day there’s one hidden five-letter word, the same for everyone. You have six guesses to find it. After every guess, each letter is marked: in the word and in the right spot, in the word but somewhere else, or not in the word at all. Use the marks to narrow it down.
Type on your keyboard or tap the letters on screen, then press Enter. A guess has to be a real word, and a word we don’t know doesn’t cost you a guess. A new word starts at midnight where you are, and a game you started before midnight stays yours to finish.
Your statistics and streak are kept in this browser only. The streak counts the days in a row you’ve solved the word.
