Hang Five vs 25 Letters

Five words. One theme. Five hearts. A new puzzle every day at midnight — all five words on screen at once, connected by a theme you have to work out for yourself. Pick a letter and it reveals across all five words simultaneously. Work out the theme and you start guessing with intent instead of luck. Every wrong letter costs a heart. Vowels cost one too, even correct ones, for as long as any consonant is still hidden — so you're always choosing between certainty and cost. Solve all five before your hearts run out. The theme is confirmed at the end, along with your time. No clock ticking at you while you play. Then share your result and see how everyone else did. One puzzle a day. A few minutes, then you're done. Free.

Go head to head with your opponent in the ultimate grid-building word game. Each player takes it in turn to choose a letter that both players must place in their own grid. Arrange your letters in the highest scoring way to win. Your longest scoring word in each row and each column in each direction scores: 3 points for a 3 letter word, 4 points for a 4 letter word and 7 points for a 5 letter word. GAME TYPES: Practice game vs bot, Play a random online opponent, Create a game and invite a friend. LANGUAGE SUPPORT: English only. Additional languages may be released at a later date. TIPS: - Palindromes (words that spell the same forwards and backwards will score in each direction (e.g. KAYAK). - Some words that aren't palindromes can still score in both directions (SLEEP in one direction is PEELS in the other). - Scoring a 4 letter word in each direction (8 points) is better than scoring a 5 letter word in a single direction (7 points). - Use swaps to improve your score after you've placed tiles. - Planning for difficult letters (Q, K, J, X, Z, etc) may help you if your opponent is unprepared.
