Guess the hidden five-letter word. Every guess comes back coloured: green for a letter in the right place, amber for one that belongs somewhere else, grey for one that isn't in the word at all. Play alone, or race someone else to the same answer online.

The same walkthrough the table opens with — you can replay it in the game at any time.
There is one hidden five-letter word. You have a handful of guesses to find it, and every guess tells you something.
Use the keys on screen or your own keyboard, then press Enter. Only real words from the list are accepted, so a guess is never wasted on nonsense.
Green means that letter is in the word and in that exact place. Amber means it is in the word but elsewhere. Grey means it isn't there at all.
Strict mode makes every later guess honour the clues you already have. Online, both players race the same word and the first to crack it takes the match.
