Polyword's board for 18 October 2026: seven letter tiles W, R, I, N, K, L and Y, an empty score bar with bronze, silver and gold medals, and Delete, shuffle and Guess buttons

Polyword is a daily word-making game in the spirit of Spelling Bee. Each day gives seven letters drawn from one hidden pangram, and you make as many words of four or more letters as you can, reusing letters freely. Longer words score more, the pangram earns bonus points, and medals mark your progress.

About Polyword

Polyword sets out seven letter tiles a day, the same for every player; on 5 October 2026 they were D, M, I, E, A, T and G. The letters come from one word, the pangram, which uses all seven. Your aim is to make the longest words you can, of four letters or more, and you may use each letter as many times as you like within a word.

There is one and only one official pangram, worth bonus points. The game notes that other words may also use every letter but are not the one the puzzle was built from. A score bar with bronze, silver and gold medals shows how far you have got, and a shuffle button reorders the tiles when you run out of ideas.

The welcome screen shows the date and yesterday's pangram, and the stats panel tracks games played, best and average score, your current day streak and a countdown to the next word. A share button copies your result to the clipboard. It is free in the browser with no account and no ads; a link at the foot of the page asks for a coffee for the maker. Unlike Spelling Bee, no letter is compulsory: every word only has to use the day's letters. On 18 October 2026 the letters were W, R, I, N, K, L and Y, and a four-letter word such as RINK scored 5 points, enough for bronze.

It suits players of Spelling Bee who prefer a version where long words are what count.

Tips

Look for common endings such as -ED, -ING or -MENT among the day's letters.
Since letters can be reused, try doubling consonants to make longer words.
Hunt for the pangram early: it is often a familiar word once you see it.
Check yesterday's pangram on the welcome screen to see what kind of words the game picks.
