Daily word
PlayClick Daily Word Game
This is PlayClick's own daily word game. Every player gets the same hidden five-letter word, and you have six tries to guess it. One puzzle goes live each day and resets at midnight UTC, so the whole world is working on the same word at the same time.
It is a self-built game made by PlayClick. It is not Wordle and it is not affiliated with Wordle or any other brand. Same simple idea, our own word list, our own daily pick.

How to play
- Type any real five-letter word and press Enter for your first guess.
- Green means that letter is correct and in the right spot.
- Yellow means the letter is in the word but sits in the wrong spot.
- Gray means the letter is not in the today's word at all.
- Use the color hints to narrow down your next guess.
- Crack the word within six guesses to win the day.
How to play
Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries. After each guess, every tile changes color to tell you how close you were. A green tile is a letter that is correct and in the right place. A yellow tile is a letter that belongs in the word but you put it somewhere else. A gray tile is a letter that is not in the word.
Each guess has to be a valid five-letter word, so you cannot burn a turn on random letters. Read the colors, cross out the gray letters in your head, and lock the green ones in place for your next line. Six guesses is enough room to recover from a rough start if you use the feedback well.
A good opening word
Your first guess is free information, so spend it on common letters. Words packed with vowels and frequent consonants tell you the most. Strong openers include CRANE, SLATE, TRACE, and ADIEU. CRANE and SLATE each cover three of the most common consonants plus two vowels. ADIEU is a vowel-heavy choice that quickly shows you how many vowels the answer holds.
For your second guess, do not chase the greens and yellows yet. Play a second word that tests five brand new letters, like a POUND or LIGHT type of guess. Two openers with ten different letters usually leave you with only a handful of possible answers, and then you close it out. Whatever you pick, avoid repeating a letter you already know is gray.
Why one shared word a day is fun
There is one word for everyone, and it changes at midnight UTC. That single fact is what makes the game stick. You are not grinding endless rounds. You get one puzzle, you give it your best shot, and you are done for the day.
Because everyone plays the same word, you can compare with friends without spoiling anything. Did you get it in three? Did they need five? The shared puzzle turns a quiet solo game into a small daily contest with the people around you. The one-a-day limit also keeps it light. It respects your time and leaves you looking forward to tomorrow's word.
When the word resets
The word changes once a day at midnight UTC. Until then, everyone across every time zone is guessing the same answer. When the clock rolls over, a fresh five-letter word takes its place and your six guesses reset.
If you miss a day, you simply pick up with the next word. There is no penalty and no catch-up backlog. Come back tomorrow and a new puzzle will be waiting.

Green means the letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different spot. Gray means the letter is not in the word at all.
