WERD
Rate itGuess a curious English word letter by letter from one clue, with four wrong letters allowed.
on werd.gg
WERD gives you a single descriptive clue and a row of blanks for a less common English word. You pick letters one at a time; right ones fill in, and each wrong one uses up one of four attempts. When the game ends, win or lose, you see the word's definition.
About WERD
WERD is a free daily word game that mixes hangman with a vocabulary lesson. Each numbered puzzle hides one curious English word, often one you might not use every day, and gives you a short clue that describes it in a roundabout way, such as something the sea delivers after a storm.
The word appears as a row of blanks with a count of letters found. You choose letters from the on-screen keyboard or type them. Correct letters appear in every place they belong. A wrong letter costs one of your four attempts, shown as circles, and losing all four ends the game. A timer runs while you play.
Whether or not you solve it, the game ends by showing the word's definition, so you always learn something. A new word appears every day for everyone.
It suits word lovers who like a gentle clue and a short daily puzzle that teaches a new word.

Tips
