What is Guess My Word?
Guess My Word is a daily word puzzle where you try to find a hidden English word. Each guess gets feedback on whether the secret word comes alphabetically before or after your guess. The game includes normal and hard difficulty modes.
How to play Guess My Word
Type any English word as your guess. The game will tell you if the secret word is alphabetically before or after your guess, helping you narrow the range. Keep guessing until you find the word, or use the give-up option to reveal it.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a word that is likely in the middle of the alphabet, such as 'middle' or 'medium', to split the possible range.
- Use the before/after feedback as a binary search, eliminating half the dictionary with each guess.
- Pay attention to the first letter, but also consider later letters if your guess shares a prefix with the secret word.
- If you're stuck, use the definition feature to learn about the secret word after you solve it or give up.
