Word5X is a daily word game with a twist: after each guess, you only learn HOW MANY letters are right — never which ones. Every guess comes back as three counts: letters in the right place, letters in the word but somewhere else, and letters not in the word at all. Which ones? That's the puzzle. It's the logic of Mastermind and Bulls & Cows, played with real five-letter words. THREE WORDS A DAY • Standard — no repeated letters, no J Q X Z. The daily everyone starts with. • Standard+ — no repeated letters, full alphabet. • Advanced — anything goes. Solve all three for a triple day. Every player gets the same words on the same day, so you can compare notes. MADE FOR DEDUCTION • Tap any tile to mark it out, in the word, or placed — the keyboard recolors to match, so every deduction stays in view. • Rows with five reds or five greens mark themselves. • Skip a letter with a placeholder to test the ones you're sure of. • Stuck? A hint fills the next row with a word that fits every count so far — never the answer itself. KEEP THE STREAK • Per-difficulty streaks, win rate and guess distribution. • A week-at-a-glance and an archive of every past daily. • Unlimited practice at any difficulty. • Share a spoiler-free result card with friends. • Game Center achievements and leaderboards (optional). HONEST BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-in. Everything is stored on your device and synced through iCloud. • Works completely offline. • Free to play every day. A single one-time purchase removes ads — no subscriptions, no coins, no energy. • Accessibility: high-contrast colors, optional shape markers on the count tiles, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support. Can you solve for X?
