Eight-Letter Word Game
The longest Daily Word puzzle. Guess the hidden eight-letter word in six tries, with a new one waiting as soon as you finish. Long words mean more letters to place, but also more clues from every guess.
Green tiles are in the right spot, orange letters are in the word but somewhere else, and gray letters aren't in it.
Tips for Eight-Letter Words
- Look for two words in one Many eight-letter words are compounds: NOTEBOOK, SUNSHINE, AIRPLANE. If one half turns green, guess the other.
- Check the beginning and the end Prefixes like RE-, UN- and DIS- and endings like -MENT, -NESS and -TION are everywhere: REMEMBER, MOVEMENT, KINDNESS, QUESTION.
- Cover a lot of letters early Two guesses with no letter in common test sixteen letters, more than half the alphabet.
- Answers are base words No plurals and no verb forms like SHOUTING, though you can still use them as guesses.
More Ways to Play
Each length keeps its own stats. For a shorter game, try seven, six, five or four letters. The daily puzzle is one five-letter word a day, the same for everyone.
