Questions and answers

Is there a new word every day?

Yes. Word of the day is the same for everyone and changes at midnight. After it, you can keep playing in endless practice or try the marathon.

Do my guesses have to be real words?

No. Any five letters count as a guess, so younger players are never stuck. Real words still give the most useful clues.
