Everything you need to start winning at Wordocious
Yes — a new daily puzzle in every mode is free, every day. An optional Pro subscription removes ads and unlocks unlimited replays beyond the daily, but the daily puzzles and leaderboards are always free.
You can browse every mode and read these guides without an account. To play, save streaks, earn medals, and appear on the daily leaderboards, sign in with Google or an email address.
Every mode gets one fresh puzzle per day, resetting at your local midnight. Everyone worldwide gets the same daily words, so scores are directly comparable.
Green means the letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different spot. Gray means the letter is not in the word at all. Use these clues to eliminate possibilities with each guess.
Each tile is judged independently. If your guess has two of a letter but the answer has only one, one tile shows the matching color and the extra shows gray — a subtle clue that the letter appears only once.
Open with a word rich in common letters and vowels — words like AROSE, RAISE, SLATE, or CRANE test five high-frequency letters at once and quickly narrow the field. Avoid repeated letters in your opener so every tile gives new information.
Every guess applies to all boards simultaneously, so spend your first two or three guesses on broad letter-coverage words rather than chasing any single board. Once a board has a few greens, lock it in, then pivot your remaining guesses to the boards with the least information.
The Gauntlet chains five escalating stages into one run with a shared guess budget, so efficiency compounds. Bank guesses early on the easier stages — solving in three instead of five leaves a cushion for the harder boards later. Reuse confirmed letters across stages where the layout allows.
Longer words have more structure: prefixes, suffixes, and common letter pairs (TH, CH, ING, ER). Once you have a couple of greens, think about which affixes fit. The extra guesses (seven and eight) give you room to probe letter positions methodically.
Daily rank is a composite of how few guesses you used and how fast you solved. Solving in fewer guesses matters most, but speed breaks ties — so know your opening word cold and do not overthink the easy boards.
Completing all of the day’s puzzles earns a Daily Sweep and bonus XP. Winning every one of them (not just completing) earns a Flawless Victory and a larger bonus. Streaks of sweeps and flawless days unlock achievements.
Each daily puzzle has a leaderboard; the top finishers earn gold, silver, and bronze medals that accumulate on your profile. Medal counts feed several collection achievements.
Yes — 70 achievements span five categories: beginner milestones, consistency (streaks and daily sweeps), skill (speed solves, perfect games, beating the Gauntlet), social (VS wins), and collection (medals). They unlock automatically as you hit each milestone, and your full set — locked and unlocked, with progress toward each — is displayed on your profile, so there is always a next goal to chase.
Pro removes ads, gives unlimited replays of every mode beyond the free daily, adds VS battles in every mode, grants streak shields, a profile badge, and extended stats. The daily puzzles stay free for everyone.
