Daily and Timed Word Games
Johnny Word is our daily letter-deduction grid, available in both 5x6 and 6x6 sizes. You guess a hidden word and the tiles tell you which letters are correct and which are in the wrong position. A new word is published every day, and the 5x6 guide and 6x6 guide explain the strategy behind opening guesses and letter elimination.
Word Unscrambler gives you ten jumbled words per round and a clock. Difficulty tiers set the timer at 60, 45 or 30 seconds per word, and your score combines word length with the time remaining when you answer.
Vocabulary and Solving Tools
Word Solver finds every word matching a set of letters. You can add wildcards, fix a starting letter, or require a specific letter combination anywhere in the word. It is useful when you are stuck on a crossword or anagram.
Fill in the Blank builds reading comprehension and contextual vocabulary by asking you to choose the word that correctly completes a sentence.
Logic and Cipher Puzzles
Enigma Cipher lets you encode and decode messages with a rotor cipher modelled on historical machines. Raccoon Maze is a route-planning puzzle, and Logo Maker is a small design tool for building text logos.
Guides and Articles
Our game guides explain how each game works and how to improve at it, and word game tips covers general strategy such as vowel placement and positional letter frequency. The blog covers the research behind word games, letter-pattern reference material, and the history of the genre. The FAQ answers common questions about how the games work.
