Noodle Words

One word a day, the same for everyone. Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries, then share your result.

How to play Noodle Words

  1. Goal: guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer.
  2. Type a word with your keyboard or the on-screen keys and press Enter.
  3. Read the colors: green means the right letter in the right spot; gold means the letter is in the word but in a different spot; gray means the letter isn’t in the word.
  4. Use the clues to make your next guess. Every guess must be a real word.
  5. Come back tomorrow for a new puzzle. Keep your streak going!

Tips

  • Start with a word that uses common letters, like CRANE, SLATE or TRACE.
  • Don’t reuse gray letters: each guess should test new letters.
  • Remember that letters can repeat, like the two Ls in LLAMA.
  • Missed a day? Every past puzzle is free in the archive.
