Speed Word (PEMDAS)

About Speed Word (PEMDAS)

Speed Word takes the Wordle formula and swaps the six-guess limit for a clock. Each day there is one new five-letter mystery word, the same for every player. You type a guess, and the tiles turn green for a right letter in the right spot, yellow for a letter that is in the word elsewhere and grey for one that is not.

You can guess as many times as you like. The timer runs from your first guess, and the faster you solve, the higher you rank on the day's global leaderboard; a Friends tab shows how you did against people you know. The site sums it up as Wordle, for time.

It is one of four timed daily games from PEMDAS Games, beside Speed Stars (a Queens-style grid), Word Slide and Math Slide, all free with no ads or subscriptions, in the browser and in the PEMDAS app. Puzzles reset at midnight.

It suits Wordle players who already solve in three or four guesses and want a new thing to compare: speed. Careful players who like the six-try limit may prefer Wordle itself.

How to play Speed Word (PEMDAS)

1. Open Speed Word on pemdasapp.com or in the PEMDAS app.
2. Type a five-letter word and submit it; the clock starts.
3. Read the tiles: green is the right letter in the right spot, yellow is in the word elsewhere, grey is not in it.
4. Keep guessing, as many times as you need, until the word is found.
5. See your time on the global and friends leaderboards.

Tips

• Have a fixed opening word ready so you do not lose seconds choosing one.
• Since guesses are unlimited, a fast throwaway word that tests new letters can beat a slow careful one.
• Type, do not tap, on a computer to save time.
