FAQ
What it is, how it works and who it's by.
What is Wordgame?
A daily word game. Type the word of the day to win.
When do I get a new puzzle?
Midnight where you are. Everyone playing on a given date gets the same puzzle.
How does the archive work?
The archive contains the last 30 days of puzzles, minus the current one, which is on the front page. Older puzzles drop off the end.
An archive puzzle counts like any other. Your first guess adds to games played, and winning or losing it moves your win rate. Each puzzle counts once, whether you play it as the daily game or from the archive.
Streaks are different: a streak counts puzzles won on their own day, so playing a missed puzzle from the archive does not fill the gap.
Can I lose?
Yes. You get one attempt, and anything other than the word loses.
How is the score worked out?
A win scores 1 point.
What does Wordgame remember about my play?
Every puzzle you have played and how it went. Games played, win rate, streaks and your scores are all worked out from that.
Do I need an account?
No. Your progress and statistics sit in the browser you play in and never reach us.
Can I play offline?
Yes. Load it once while you are online and it keeps a copy of itself, so it works without a connection afterwards. You can add it to your home screen and open it like an app, too.
Does it work on a phone?
It runs in any current browser, on a phone, tablet or desktop.
Does it cost anything?
No. Free, no ads in the game, nothing to buy.
Is example.com the official Wordgame?
Yes. Wordgame is made and run by Reason Factory Ltd, and example.com is the only official one.
