What Vendy is
Vendy is a daily word puzzle that turns a Venn diagram into a problem to solve. Each puzzle hides two words that overlap by at least one letter, and the shared letters appear in the overlapping section. Your objective is to deduce both complete words and submit a two-word answer. Three puzzles arrive each day in Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty, and finishing all three keeps your streak going. A hint gives help but adds ten seconds to your solve time, and you can skip a puzzle and return to it later. No signup is required for daily play. Beyond the daily set, the Vault holds over 100 past puzzles organized by theme and difficulty, while custom mode lets you create and share your own Venn word challenge. Practice mode teaches the basics, Projector mode supports classroom warm-ups, and the installable web app works full-screen on mobile.
How to play
Start by identifying the letters in the center of the Venn diagram. These are the letters shared by both hidden words, so every one of them appears in both answers. Use those anchors to think of words that could fit the overlap, then use the keyboard to fill in your guess. When both words are complete, submit your two-word answer for validation. If the answer isn't coming together, use a hint to get help; this adds 10 seconds to the timer. You can also skip the puzzle and return to it later. Try the practice puzzle first if you are new, or open the Vault to play puzzles from the past three days. To make your own challenge, enter two words that share at least one letter and share the custom link with others. Toggle repeat-letter highlighting or dark mode from settings if you want a different view.
Tips
- Look closely at the shared letters in the Venn overlap before guessing; every letter there must appear in both hidden words.
- If you are stuck, use a hint to move forward, but remember it adds 10 seconds to your solve time.
- You can skip a puzzle and return later, so you don't have to let one difficult word stall your whole session.
- Playing all three daily puzzles keeps your streak; Vault wins won't affect that streak.
Common questions
How many Vendy puzzles are released each day?
There are three daily puzzles: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Finishing all three daily puzzles maintains a streak, but playing puzzles in the Vault does not affect the current daily streak.
What do the shared letters mean in a puzzle?
The letters in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram are shared by both hidden words. Use them as the overlap between the two answers and deduce the remaining letters of each word.
What happens if I use a hint?
Using a hint gives you help on the puzzle, but it adds 10 seconds to your solve time. You can also skip a puzzle if you are stuck and return to it later.
Do I need an account to play?
No signup is required to play the daily puzzles. You can jump straight into the game and try the current set or use the practice puzzle to learn the mechanics.
