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 gets a right spot, in word or miss clue. Repeated letters are matched only as many times as they appear in the answer.
How to play
- 1Choose Hunt 5, Hunt 6, or Hunt 7 and enter a guess with that many letters.
- 2Read each letter tile: right spot means correct position, in word means present elsewhere, and miss means the letter is absent or you have guessed it too many times.
- 3Use the vertical guess history to narrow the hidden answer.
- 4Finish in six guesses or fewer, then play another word whenever you want.
Rules
- There is one dated daily challenge per word length each day for local stats and streaks.
- After finishing the daily challenge, you can play extra Letter Hunt words without waiting for tomorrow.
- You get up to 6 guesses.
- Every guess must be a real word with the correct word length.
Scoring
- The goal is to solve each answer in six guesses or fewer.
- The dated daily challenge and extra words both update local played games, wins, streaks, and win distribution in this browser.
- Your streak counts consecutive wins across daily challenges and extra words. A loss resets it.
- Daily result sharing stays tied to the selected dated daily challenge.
Tips and strategy
- Start with a word that uses different common letters.
- Treat right-spot letters as fixed positions for every later guess.
- Move in-word letters into new positions instead of repeating the same pattern.
- Check every copy of a repeated letter before ruling it out: one copy can match while another is a miss.
Daily word puzzle example
If the hidden word is PLANT and you guess PAINT, P, N, and T are in the right spots. A is in the word but in a different position. I is not in the word.
- P✓ right spot
- A● in word
- I× miss
- N✓ right spot
- T✓ right spot
How repeated letters work
Each copy of a letter can match only once. Right-spot matches are counted first, then any remaining copies can receive an in-word clue.
For example, if the answer contains one L and your guess contains two, only one L can be marked right spot or in word. The other is a miss. Keep the matching L in your next guess.

FAQ
Is there a new puzzle every day?
Yes. The dated daily challenge changes each day. After finishing it, use Play another word to keep playing extra Letter Hunt words.
Can someone play the same daily word puzzle from my result?
After finishing a dated Daily Letter Hunt challenge, use Share result or Copy result. The shared result leaves out your guessed words and the answer, while its link keeps the puzzle date and word length. Opening it on a later day still loads that dated puzzle—not today’s challenge. Replaying an earlier date does not change daily stats.
What do the clue labels mean?
Right spot means the letter is in the correct position. In word means it belongs elsewhere. Miss means the letter is absent or your guess contains more copies than the answer. Right-spot matches are counted first.
Does it require sign-in?
No. Your puzzle result and stats are saved in this browser on this device.
