What Yellow Yellow is
Yellow Yellow is a daily word game for players who like Wordle but want a twist. The target is a hidden five-letter word, and your job is to guess that same set of letters in a completely different order. To win, your submitted word must be a valid anagram of the secret word, and none of its letters may remain in the same position as in the secret word. When that happens, every tile turns yellow and the puzzle is solved. The game uses yellow-tile feedback to show which letters still need to be rearranged, and each day brings a new numbered puzzle, with entries like #77 making each daily challenge easy to identify.
How to play
Open the daily Yellow Yellow puzzle and use the on-screen QWERTY keyboard to enter a five-letter guess. The guess must use exactly the same letters as the hidden secret word, so focus on anagrams rather than unrelated words. Press Enter to submit your guess and receive yellow-tile feedback. Any tile that is not yellow means that letter is still sitting in its original position from the secret word. Use Backspace to delete or change letters while you refine your answer. Keep rearranging the letter set until you have a valid anagram where every letter has moved to a new position; at that moment all five tiles light up yellow and the puzzle is complete.
Tips
- A guess only works if it is a real five-letter word and an exact anagram of the secret word, so avoid letters that are not part of the day's set.
- If a tile is not yellow, the guessed letter is still in its original spot; try swapping it with another letter in your anagram to force a new position.
- Think of the solution as a derangement: every letter must appear in the word, but none can stay where it started.
- When you are close, say the letter set aloud and rearrange the syllables or letter pairs to find a valid word order that shifts all positions.
Common questions
What does all-yellow mean in Yellow Yellow?
Unlike standard Wordle, green is not the goal. You win when every one of the five tiles is yellow, which only happens when your guess is both a complete anagram of the hidden word and a derangement, meaning no letter remains in its original position from the secret word.
Can any five-letter word be submitted as a guess?
No. Each guess must be a valid five-letter word that is an exact anagram of the secret word. Using the correct letter set in a different order is required, and you also need to make sure every one of those letters has moved to a new position so all tiles can turn yellow.
Are there new puzzles each day?
Yes, Yellow Yellow offers a fresh daily puzzle and numbers each one, so players can refer to specific entries such as #77. The game is free to play online.
