Word Eile (RTÉ)

Word Eile is a word-guessing game on RTÉ Games, the games section of Ireland's public broadcaster. The game itself runs on a gamesgrid.gg page that the rte.ie games page frames. Its own instructions sum it up: taking the daily clue, guess the hidden word in five tries or less.

The board works like Wordle. You type a word, and each tile turns a colour to show whether that letter is in the word and in the correct spot, in the word but in the wrong spot, or not in the word at all. The first letter of the answer is already filled in when you start, and the five rows are all the guesses you get.

What sets it apart is the clue and the levels. A toggle at the top switches between Quick (a six-letter word), Median (seven letters) and Cryptic (eight letters). The lightbulb opens a hints panel where you can reveal today's clue, or pick a position and have that letter shown. When you finish, a result card gives your number of tries and a link to share it, and a statistics panel keeps your games played, win rate and current and best streak. The game plays the same at phone size, with the board above the keyboard. It is free to play in the browser with no account, with an advert slot above the keyboard.
