Wordy FAQ

Game Features

What makes Wordy unique?

Wordy combines classic 5-letter word puzzle gameplay (inspired by popular daily word games) with modern enhancements across multiple modes:

  • Daily Mode - For traditionalists: New 5-letter challenge every 24 hours
  • Unlimited Mode - Beyond daily limits: Endless 5-letter puzzles with adjustable difficulty
  • Timed Mode - Speed challenges: 60-second 5-letter word sprints using hints

Future Difficulty Options (2025 roadmap):
  • Beginner: 3-letter & 4-letter words
  • Advanced: 6-letter & 7-letter words
  • Expert: Phrase puzzles & themed categories

While our Daily Mode follows the familiar 5-letter format popularized by Wordle-style games, Wordy expands the experience with multiple challenge levels and gameplay variations not found in basic daily word puzzles.
