Worded

The daily word game

Worded is a free daily word puzzle. Every player gets the same 4x4 board of letters and the same queue of incoming letters. Slide rows and columns to line up four-letter words. When a word completes it clears, letters fall, the queue fills the gaps, and one slide can cascade into several words.

How to play

Slide any full row or column by one cell. The letter that enters comes from the day's queue, and the letter on the far edge falls off. Spell a valid four-letter word across a full row or column and it scores. You get 20 moves a day, and you can replay the same day as often as you like to beat your best word count and efficiency.

Common questions

Is Worded free?

Yes. The daily board, replays, and the leaderboard are all free to play. No account needed.

When does a new board arrive?

Every day. Everyone in the world plays the same board and the same letter queue.

What counts as a word?

A valid four-letter word read forward across a full row or column. When it completes, it clears and scores, and the letters above fall in.

What is efficiency?

The share of your 20 moves that helped score words. Word count is the headline number; efficiency is the mastery stat.
