What WordTwiq is

WordTwiq is a free daily word puzzle that hides two five-letter answers. The two words share four letters and differ by exactly one letter, so your goal is to identify those four matching letters and the single letter that changes. You have seven shared guesses, and every guess you enter is used for both hidden words at once. A new puzzle appears daily at midnight UTC, and no account or signup is required. Alongside today's puzzle, WordTwiq offers a historical archive and unlimited practice mode. Progress is saved locally in your browser, so you can reopen the game and continue, though clearing browser data will erase it. The puzzle is installable as an offline-capable web app, and the game uses no advertising or cross-site marketing trackers.

How to play

Enter five-letter word guesses to work out both hidden words at once. Every guess is shared, so it needs to help you solve both answers rather than a separate attempt for each. Use your seven shared guesses to find the four letters the two answers have in common and the one letter that is different. You can share a result that hides the answer words. You can play today's puzzle, browse the historical archive, or use unlimited practice mode. WordTwiq requires JavaScript and saves your progress in the local browser; you can install the web app for offline play.

Tips

1. Because the two answers share four letters, focus on identifying the common set and then watch for the one letter that changes.
2. With only seven shared guesses, each guess should be considered against both hidden answers at the same time.
3. Use practice mode and the archive to explore more puzzles while waiting for the next daily release at midnight UTC.
4. Your progress is saved in the browser, so you can return later; clearing browser data will remove it.
