How to play

• Every day there is one secret word, the same for everyone. Type any word to guess.
• Each guess gets a number. It says how close the word is in meaning to the secret word, counted among all the words in the list: 1 is the word itself, 2 is the nearest word, and so on. Spelling does not matter.
• Green means among the 300 nearest, yellow among the 1,500 nearest, red further away.
• You start at 500 points and lose 4 for every guess after the first. A hint gives you a word about halfway to the answer and costs 30.
• Plurals and other endings count as the basic word. One word per day.

No ads, no trackers, no cookies, nothing loaded from other sites. Your browser keeps a random number so the game remembers today's round; the server only ever sees a scrambled version of it, together with your answers and any feedback you choose to send.

About the content

How close two words are is worked out by a computer model that has read large amounts of text (the fastText word vectors from Facebook Research, CC BY-SA 3.0). It knows which words turn up in the same surroundings, not what they mean, so some rankings will look odd. The word list is the ENABLE list. Tell us if a common word is missing.

The daily top list shows made-up nicknames such as “Quick Fox 42”. They are generated from the scrambled number, so the list says nothing about who you are.
