WordCue

About WordCue

WordCue follows the classic format. Each day brings a new numbered hidden word of five letters. You type a guess on your keyboard or tap the on-screen letters, then press Enter or Go. Every letter is marked: green for the correct letter in the right spot, orange for a letter in the word but in the wrong spot, and grey for a letter not in the word. The keyboard keeps track of what you have learned.

Guesses must be real words from the game's dictionary, and invalid entries are not accepted, so a typo never costs you a try. Solving the day's word keeps your streak going, and a share button posts your result as a spoiler-free grid of coloured squares.

WordCue is one of the daily games on Linerko, a free site that also runs daily geography, number, logic, grouping and visual puzzles, all without an account or download. The site is supported by tips through Ko-fi.

How to play WordCue

1. Open WordCue on linerko.com.
2. Type a five-letter word and press Enter or Go.
3. Read the colours: green is right, orange is in the word elsewhere, grey is not in it.
4. Use the keyboard colours to plan your next guess, up to six tries.
5. Solve it to keep your streak, then share your grid.

Tips

• Open with a word that has several common letters, such as E, A, R, S and T.
• Do not reuse grey letters; the keyboard shows them.
• Move orange letters to a new position in your next guess.
• Think about double letters if you are stuck late on.
