Mislettered
Guess letters to reveal the day's famous quote, then solve it in one shot.
Every day: One numbered quote or phrase a day, the same for everyone, from a film, TV show or other source: guess letters one at a time, with six wrong guesses allowed, and solve it in one try for up to 50 points. New puzzle: Midnight US Eastern Time.
Mislettered is a daily phrase puzzle from Try Hard Guides, a little like Hangman. The day's quote is hidden with its source category shown; each letter you guess fills in wherever it appears, six wrong letters force you to solve, and you get just one attempt at the full answer. Solving sooner scores more, out of 50.
About Mislettered
Mislettered is a daily word puzzle from Try Hard Guides, a gaming and puzzle site. Each day there is one quote or phrase, the same for everyone and numbered by day, drawn from a film, TV show or other source, with its category shown as a clue.
The phrase starts hidden as a row of blank tiles, and you guess letters one at a time on an on-screen keyboard. A correct letter fills in everywhere it appears, and correct guesses are unlimited. Wrong letters count against you: after six incorrect guesses you must try to solve the phrase. You get a single attempt at the full answer, so it pays to be sure.
Solving with fewer guesses scores more, up to 50 points, which rewards reading the quote from as few letters as you can. A dark mode and a stats page round it out, and no account is needed.
It plays like Hangman crossed with Wheel of Fortune and suits anyone who enjoys recognising quotes and sayings from a handful of letters.
How to play Mislettered
- Note the category shown for the day's hidden phrase.
- Guess a letter on the on-screen keyboard; correct letters fill in wherever they appear.
- Keep guessing, remembering that six wrong letters force you to solve.
- When you think you know it, solve the phrase in your one attempt.
- Solve with as few guesses as possible to score up to 50 points.
Tips
- Start with common letters (E, T, A, O, N) to open up the shape of the phrase cheaply.
- Use the category and any revealed words to guess the whole phrase early and bank more points.
- Short words between gaps are often THE, AND or A, which can unlock the rest.
