Daily Word Games — the same puzzles for everyone
Wordocious is a free puzzle game that goes far beyond the classic five-letter guess. With eight daily word games, ten Puzzles dailies from sudoku to cryptograms, live VS matches with friends, and global leaderboards, Wordocious gives puzzle fans something new to play every single day.
Whether you enjoy a quick solo puzzle on your morning commute or a race against friends, Wordocious has a mode for you. Every daily puzzle is the same for all players worldwide, so you can compare scores and strategies with anyone.
The original word puzzle formula. Guess a single five-letter word in six attempts. After each guess, colored tiles reveal which letters are correct, misplaced, or not in the word at all. A perfect starting point for new players and a daily ritual for veterans.
Solve four words simultaneously with just nine total guesses. Every guess you type applies to all four boards at once, so you need to think strategically about which letters give you the most information across all four puzzles.
The ultimate multi-board challenge. Eight words, thirteen guesses, and the same simultaneous-solve mechanic as QuadWord. Managing eight boards at once demands careful planning and a deep vocabulary.
Four words solved in sequence. Finish one puzzle to unlock the next, but all four share a single pool of ten guesses. Balancing speed against guess conservation is key — waste too many guesses early and the later words become nearly impossible.
Four boards with pre-filled letter hints to help you get started. You have six guesses to solve all four words. The hints give you a head start, but the tight guess limit keeps things challenging. A great mode for players who enjoy deduction puzzles.
Step up from the classic formula with six-letter words and seven guesses. The extra letter opens up a much wider vocabulary, demanding sharper deduction and broader word knowledge. Same rules, bigger challenge.
The ultimate single-word challenge. Seven-letter words with eight guesses push your vocabulary to its limits. With thousands of possible solutions, every guess counts. Only the most dedicated word game masters will conquer Seven consistently.
Five stages of increasing difficulty: a single-word Opening, then QuadWord, Succession, Deliverance, and OctoWord. One failed stage ends the run, so completing the Gauntlet takes consistency across every style of play.
The Puzzles tile on the home screen opens a second shelf of daily puzzles. Each one earns XP, medals, achievements and its own leaderboard like every other mode, but none of them counts toward the Daily Sweep or Flawless Victory — those stay the eight word games above.
Instead of dictionary words, guess famous names, places, and cultural references. Each daily puzzle is themed — categories include current events, music, movies, sports, video games, history, and science. With more than 650 unique puzzles, there is always something new to discover.
A classic nine-by-nine sudoku with one Medium puzzle a day and exactly one solution. Two mistakes are allowed and the third ends the game; pencil Notes are free, and a Hint fills a cell for a score cost.
The newspaper scramble: unscramble four words under a cartoon, then spell the pun from their circled letters to finish the caption. Every full word checks itself — five checks is perfect, thirteen loses.
Seven letters, one required hub. Make words of four letters or more, hunt the pangram, and climb from Hush to Pandemonium. Reaching Hubbub rank solves the puzzle and the board stays open so you can keep climbing.
A themed crossword where every clue is a familiar saying with one word missing. Letters are free to place and change; Check locks the right ones, and the grid completes itself when every cell is right.
Sixteen words hide four groups of four — a plain category, a sly link or pure wordplay. Find them all with four mistakes to spare, and ask for a category name or a pair when you are stuck.
Change one letter at a time from the start word to the end word, every rung a real word. Par is the shortest route, rejected words are free, and you have par plus five moves.
A well-known saying in a letter-for-letter code with the three most common letters given. Pencil freely, Check when you dare, and the code cracks itself the moment every letter is right.
Ten themed words hidden forwards in a 10 × 10 grid. Race the clock and keep your misses down — only a straight line of four or more letters that spells no listed word counts against you.
Place one star in every row, column and color region with no two stars touching. A 7 × 7 board early in the week and 8 × 8 from Thursday, three mistakes, and a solution you can always reach by logic alone.
Six quick turn-based games to play with a friend from the Friends tab: Rock Paper Scissors, Tic-Tac-Tile, Call It, Pass the Puzzle, Ghost and Word Chain. Take your turn whenever you like. Your friend gets a ping, and the game waits three days for you both.
Race another player on the same puzzle in real time. Both players receive the same word and compete to solve it first. Speed and accuracy both matter — the fastest correct solve wins the round. Invite a friend with a link, queue for a live opponent, or play a built-in bot — each with its own personality and difficulty.
Every game mode features a daily puzzle that resets at midnight in your local time. All players receive the same daily puzzle each day, making it easy to compare results with friends, family, or the global community.
Play at least one daily puzzle each day to build your streak. Streaks reward consistency — the longer your streak, the more bonus XP you earn. If life gets in the way, Streak Shields can protect your streak from a missed day.
Compete for the top spot on daily leaderboards across every game mode. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded to the top performers each day, and your medal collection is displayed on your profile for everyone to see.
Your profile tracks lifetime statistics including total games played, win rates, average scores, best streaks, and achievements. Level up by earning XP from wins, streaks, and daily challenges.
Every completed puzzle earns a score based on three factors, in order of weight: a base score for solving the puzzle, a guess bonus for every attempt you did not need, and a speed bonus for finishing quickly. Guesses dominate — the speed bonus is always worth less than a single guess, so it breaks ties among equally efficient solvers rather than beating them. Even a loss earns a little partial credit for progress — correct letters on a single board, boards solved on the multi-board modes, or stages reached in the Gauntlet.
XP is earned from every game: 100 XP for a win, 25 XP for a loss, plus bonuses for win streaks, daily challenges, and medal placements. Every 1,000 XP advances you one level.
Wordocious is completely free to play. Every game mode, every daily puzzle, and every leaderboard is accessible without paying. Free players get one attempt per game mode per day.
Wordocious Pro unlocks unlimited replays across all game modes, plus Unlimited mode for endless fresh puzzles, deep Pro Insights stats, streak shields, and VS extras like invites and rematches.
