on playvendy.com
Vendy is a daily word puzzle drawn as a Venn diagram. Blue letters belong only to the first hidden word, pink only to the second, and purple to both, and letters can repeat. Three puzzles a day, easy to hard, are timed, and finishing all three keeps your streak.
About Vendy
Vendy shows two overlapping circles full of letters. The left circle holds the letters of word one, the right circle those of word two, and the overlap the letters both words share. The game's own example puts P, L and A on the left, V, E, N and D on the right and Y in the middle, which makes PLAY and VENDY. Letters can appear more than once in a word, and a setting highlights the ones that repeat.
You type both words on the keyboard and submit. A timer runs while you solve, and up to three hints are available, each adding ten seconds. Every day brings three puzzles, Easy, Medium and Hard, and you need all three to keep your streak going. When you finish you get a star rating and your time, and can share the result.
The Vault lets you play puzzles from the past three days without affecting your streak, and an archive sorts older ones by theme and difficulty. You can also make your own Vendy from any two words and send the link to a friend, which the site suggests for classrooms. It is free in the browser with no ads and no account, and can be added to a phone's home screen. The puzzles began on 4 May 2026, and each day's set is tied to a day of the year, such as National Apple Day or Halloween, with a short fact shown after each solve.
