Instructions
Object of the Game
The computer will give you 7 guesses to figure out the secret word. You make a guess by selecting letters from the alphabet. The computer will tell you which letters you picked are in the word, and which letters are in the right location in the word.
Game Instructions
At the top of the screen you will see a grid containing 7 rows of squares. The top row has empty squares. When you click on a letter in the alphabet below, the letter you click will move into the next available empty square. If the letter you selected is in the computer’s word, the letter will turn yellow. If the letter is in the computer’s word and it is in the right position (for example, the third letter you select is the third letter in the computer’s word) then the letter will turn green.
When you have completed a row, the next row of squares will become empty, allowing you to try again. Letters you tried in the first row that are not in the computer’s secret word are now gone from the alphabet, and the letters you previously picked which are in the computer’s secret word are now highlighted bright yellow, making it easier to pick letters.
If you find out the computer’s secret word in 7 guesses or less, you win. Otherwise, you lose.
You can choose the length of words you want to try by selecting a length from the list box.
Note: These are all words which have no repeated letters.

Love Wordle? Then try Racery’s new secret word game!
Guess a word and SecretWord will rank its proximity to today’s secret word in the articles in a database of 100 billion words as analyzed by Google.
Guess another word. And again! Notice which words score well. Then test your hypothesis about the day’s secret word with new guesses, and you’ll home in on the day’s secret word.
(By the way, 100 billion words… that’s crazy, right?)
Test your skills on a new secret word hunt every day. You can hunt alone, but SecretWord is lots easier if you work with a collaborator, because each of us has blind spots and often gets stuck on one hypothesis.
And playing with a buddy is more fun, since you each see the word associations your partner cooks up!
Some comments from SecretWord hunters:
- “… an intellectual adrenaline rush!”
- “It’s fun to see how different my girlfriend’s guesses are.”
- “Sometimes easy, occasionally hard, always smart and fun.”
- “Perfect for people who enjoy thesauruses and logic.”
- “… like 20 questions for linguists.”
- “… a fun kickoff for team brainstorming!”
The game’s AI reveals all sorts of hidden connections among words, and from day to day, the logic of a hunt may vary a lot. One day, synonyms like “hot,” “warm” and “humid” point straight at the secret word “sizzling,” and you hit the bullseye in 50 guesses!
Other days are harder. After 150 guesses, you finally zero in on a string of closely related words–championship, champion, champs–but then fail to make the leap to the secret word “title.”
Another day, your guesses “love,” “smooch,” “conquer” and “dominate” seem to have nothing in common… until you finally nail the day’s secret word… “crush.”
Beware of confirmation bias, which leads you to steer all your guesses on one trajectory, ignoring other obvious clues about the secret word’s identity.
Head over now and guess today’s secret word!
When you’re done, check out your cool graph of the day’s secret word puzzle.
