What is this game?
Daily Letter Hunt is a solo daily word puzzle with a distinct vertical guess history. Each guessed letter shows whether it is in the right spot, in the word elsewhere, or not used in the answer.
How to play
- 1 Open the daily puzzle and enter a five-letter guess.
- 2 Read each letter tile: right spot means correct position, in word means present elsewhere, and miss means not in the word.
- 3 Use the vertical guess history to narrow the hidden answer.
- 4 Finish in six guesses or fewer, then copy a spoiler-free result.
Rules
- There is one counted daily puzzle per day.
- After finishing the daily puzzle, you can play extra practice words that do not change daily stats or win distribution.
- You get up to 6 guesses.
- Every guess must be a real word with the correct word length.
Scoring
- The goal is to solve the daily answer in six guesses or fewer.
- Each day has one official puzzle.
- Local stats track games played, wins, streaks, and solved-game distribution in this browser.
- Practice words do not change stats or share results.
Tips and strategy
- Start with a word that uses different common letters.
- Treat right-spot letters as fixed positions for every later guess.
- Move in-word letters into new positions instead of repeating the same pattern.
- Use miss clues to remove letters from your next guess.

- p right spot
- a miss
- i in word

Strategy tips
