A daily puzzle to find the longest hidden word in the fewest guesses. Tap letters left to right across the grid, skipping any you like, to spell words.
Puzzico
What is Puzzico?
Puzzico is a daily five-letter word puzzle with one shared word that resets at 00:00 UTC, plus an Unlimited practice mode. Each game gives you six guesses to find the hidden word, with colour-coded feedback after every accepted guess.

Six guesses on a five-letter word is fair, but the exact duplicate-letter matching and strict 24-hour daily window are what separate careful players from guessers.

I like a game that tells you a letter is 'somewhere else' instead of just wrong — it turns each guess into a small, clever sentence.
How to play Puzzico
Type any accepted five-letter word and press Enter. After each guess, a blue check (✓) means the letter is correct and in the right place, a copper arrow (↔) means it is in the word but somewhere else, and a grey dash (−) means there is no remaining match for that letter. Use these clues to narrow down the answer, keeping in mind that letters can appear more than once.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a word that uses common vowels and frequent consonants to get the most information early.
- Pay attention to repeated letters—a check and a dash on the same letter can both appear if the answer contains only one copy.
- Read the whole row before your next guess; an arrow means the letter belongs somewhere else in the word.
- Use Unlimited mode to try different openers or practise reading duplicate letters without affecting your daily streak.
