One five-letter Catholic word a day. Six guesses. The same word for everyone, everywhere.
After every guess each tile tells you one thing:
Green — that letter is in the word and in the right place.
Gold — that letter is in the word, but somewhere else.
Plain — that letter is not in the word at all.
Open with a word that uses common letters and more than one vowel, so even a complete miss rules out a lot. Then read the greys as hard as the greens — knowing which letters are gone narrows things faster than most people expect.
And the vocabulary is Catholic, so when you are stuck, think about where a word would live: the Mass, the sacraments, scripture, the life of the Church. That is usually a better prompt than running through the alphabet.
Guess the day's five-letter word in six tries. After each guess the tiles change colour to tell you how close you were: which letters are correct and in the right place, which are in the word but sit somewhere else, and which are not in the word at all. Everyone gets the same word on the same day.
Yes. It plays in any browser with no account, no signup and no download, and your progress is kept on your own device rather than on a server.
Five-letter words from Catholic and broadly Christian vocabulary - the Mass and liturgy, the sacraments, scripture and its figures, the virtues, and the structures of the Church. The list is chosen so a regular Mass-goer recognises most of them, and so the occasional unfamiliar one teaches you something.
Yes, one new word each day, the same for every player. That is the point of a daily puzzle: a shared thing you can compare with other people rather than an endless stream you play until you are bored.
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Your streak and history live in your own browser, which also means clearing your browser data clears them.
Something with common letters and more than one vowel, so that even a miss eliminates a lot. A rare word can feel clever but usually tells you less. Beyond that it is taste - plenty of people keep the same opener every day.
Yes. It is built mobile-first and plays in a phone browser, and it is also packaged as a mobile app. Nothing needs installing to play.
