About

The Five Letter Game

Read full description

The Five Letter Game is a relaxed word challenge built around five-letter words. Play your way: • Word of the day — a daily puzzle to keep a streak going. • Solo vs CPU — practice anytime. • Two players on one device — pass and play with a friend. • Online two-player — match and play over the internet. Features dictionaries for multiple languages, progress and achievements on your device, and optional word suggestions to help grow the dictionary. No in-app purchases — just the game. Optional word lookup: after a word of the day, “What does this word mean?” opens your default browser and searches ecosia.org. Ecosia processes that search, including technical data such as your IP address, under its own privacy notice (https://www.ecosia.org/privacy). The app does not send your player name or scores, and you can skip the lookup.
