5 Letters (Haaretz)

About 5 Letters (Haaretz)

5 Letters, 5 אותיות in Hebrew, is Haaretz's daily word game based on Wordle. Every day there is one hidden Hebrew word of exactly five letters, the same for all players, and you have six tries to find it.

You type a five-letter Hebrew word in each row, right to left. Each letter is coloured green if it is in the right place, yellow if it is in the word but elsewhere, and grey if it is not there.

The game is part of the Haaretz games page, which also runs a connections game, a word chain, a logic riddle and a shape puzzle. Some games on the page are for Haaretz subscribers.

It suits Hebrew speakers and learners who want their daily Wordle in Hebrew.
