Daily Letter Hunt

Daily Letter Hunt is a Wordle-style guessing game on PlayNib, a site of free browser games that play without an account. Instead of one word a day it gives three dated challenges: Hunt 5, Hunt 6 and Hunt 7, one hidden word for each length, and you pick which one to play with the buttons at the top of the board.

A round goes the familiar way. You type a real word of the right length and press Hunt, and each letter comes back marked: right spot when it sits in the correct position, in word when the answer has it somewhere else, and miss when it is not in the answer at all. The marks are written on the tiles as well as shown in colour, so the clues read without relying on colour alone. A guess history down the page keeps every row, and you have six guesses to find the word.

When the daily challenge is finished, Play another word starts extra words of the same length, as many as you like, without waiting for tomorrow. Your games played, wins, win rate, best streak and guess distribution are kept in your browser's local storage, and the result of the dated daily challenge can be shared. The page is free and carries Google AdSense, with an ad space below the board once a daily word is finished.

The longer 6 and 7-letter hunts make it a step up for players who find a single five-letter word a day too short, and the text labels suit anyone who has trouble telling the usual tile colours apart.

The daily words come from fixed lists in the game itself, about 550 five-letter answers and smaller sets of six and seven-letter ones, chosen by the date rather than in order. Everyone who opens the game on the same calendar date gets the same three words.
