Word to your Mother

Word to your Mother (W2YM) is a free daily word game designed and coded by Jeremy Bornstein. Its idea comes from Wordall, which itself grew out of Wordle: instead of hunting for one hidden word, you see a board of clues and must list every word that is consistent with it.

Each numbered daily board shows letters coloured as in Wordle, green for the right place, yellow for in the word but elsewhere, and grey for absent. The game tells you how many words fit, for example exactly four, and you type five-letter words to find them. Only words that break the board's rules count against you; real but obscure words that fit earn credit as bonus words.

In normal mode, the words you have already found are coloured to give hints about the remaining answers. Hard mode shows them in a single colour, which is closer to the reasoning you need in Wordle itself. Your times are recorded for the daily, hard mode and other games, each board has its own leaderboard of times, and finishing the daily on consecutive days builds a streak shown beside the game number. The day changes at midnight UTC, and one missed day per streak is forgiven.

Besides the daily board there are unlimited random games and a new board every ten minutes. It suits Wordle players who enjoy the deduction of the last few guesses.
