About WordAll

WordAll starts from a familiar Wordle moment. Sometimes you reach a point where more words fit the colours than you have turns left, and getting the answer comes down to luck. WordAll's makers say knowing all the possible words is the real skill there, so they turned that moment into a game with no luck in it.

Each day you get a game board with green, yellow and grey clues, as in Wordle. Your job is to find all the five-letter words that are valid for that board, hence the name: not one word, but all of them. Every answer you type must fit what the board already shows. When it does, it is added to the board. When it does not, the game tells you why: your answer must have a certain letter, cannot have one, or none of the answers have certain letters. It also tells you when a guess is not a word, too short or already found.

The game counts as a perfect game if you find every word with no wrong answers. It tracks your time, with best, worst and average, your win record and streaks, and your perfect-game record and rate. If you are stuck you can give up and see the words you missed. There is a new WordAll every day, and settings include a dark mode and a high-contrast mode.

The same makers also run Cascadle, a newer daily word game.

How to play WordAll

1. Look at today's board of coloured letter clues.
2. Type a five-letter word that fits every clue on the board.
3. Correct words are added to the board; wrong ones come back with a reason.
4. Keep going until you have found all the words, ideally with no wrong answers.

Tips

• Work through the alphabet for each open position rather than guessing at random.
• Read the game's messages after a wrong answer; they tell you which letter rule you broke.
• Common endings such as -ER, -ED or -LY can unlock several words at once.
