A Wordle-style game with more to play
Enter any five letter word, watch the tiles turn green, yellow or gray, and use the clues to find the hidden word within six tries. There are 595 common hidden words, chosen from frequency data and reviewed by hand, and 17,450 accepted guesses, so normal words and plurals are not rejected.
Here S and E are in the right spot, while T, A and L are not in SHINE at all.
So‘zdon is an independent game with its own word lists. It has no connection to Wordle or The New York Times.
Daily or unlimited
The daily word is shared by all players and keeps a streak. Unlimited practice gives you a new random word as often as you like, and the archive holds the past 30 daily words. Each language keeps separate statistics.
