## About
The Word Guess Game is a free five-letter word puzzle. You have six guesses to find the hidden word, and after each guess every letter turns green if it is right and in the right place, orange if it is in the word but somewhere else, and grey if it is not in the word. Play as many random words as you like, or try the daily word that is the same for everyone on a given date. Hard mode makes you reuse every hint you have found. Your statistics are saved in your browser, and you can share your result as an emoji grid without giving away the word.

## How to use
1. Type a five-letter word using the on-screen keyboard or your keyboard, then press Enter. The word must be in the word list.
2. After each guess the tiles change colour: green means the right letter in the right place, orange means the letter is in the word but in a different place, and grey means it is not in the word.
3. Use the clues to guess the word in six tries or fewer. The keyboard also shows what you have learned about each letter.
4. Choose Unlimited for a new random word whenever you like, or Daily word for the word that is the same for everyone on that date. Tick Hard mode to be forced to reuse your hints.
