What is this game?

Daily Letter Hunt is a solo word puzzle with dated daily challenges for Hunt 5, Hunt 6, and Hunt 7, plus unlimited extra words. Each guessed letter shows whether it is in the right spot, in the word elsewhere, or not used in the answer.

How to play

  1. 1Choose Hunt 5, Hunt 6, or Hunt 7 and enter a guess with that many letters.
  2. 2Read each letter tile: right spot means correct position, in word means present elsewhere, and miss means not in the word.
  3. 3Use the vertical guess history to narrow the hidden answer.
  4. 4Finish in six guesses or fewer, then play another word whenever you want.

  • Every guess must be a real word with the correct word length.

Scoring
