How to play Word in Six

Find the five-letter word in six guesses.

These are the rules for the PlayBurst version. Other versions may play differently.

Rules and controls

  1. 1. Guess a word

    Any real five-letter word.

  2. 2. Read the colours

    Green is the right letter in the right place, yellow is in the word but elsewhere, grey means there is no remaining copy of that letter to match. A repeated letter can be grey even when another copy is green or yellow.

  3. 3. Narrow it down

    Use what each guess told you. Six guesses in all.
