Guess the hidden word in six tries.

A word game for English classes with learner-friendly clues at A2, B1 and B2: play a random word, the word of the day, or your own word with a share link for students.

Find the word

  • Right letter, right place
  • In the word, wrong place
  • Not in the word

Type on your keyboard or click the letters. Enter to guess, Backspace to delete.

Try it in class:
  • Warmer. Open the word of the day and pick your class's level. Before anyone guesses, give the topic and let students brainstorm ten words they know on it. Then play.
  • Explain it. When the word is found, a student explains what it means without saying it, or puts it in a sentence about their own life. Use the clue only to check.
  • Teams on the board. Turn on Team game and show it on the board. Teams take turns to guess and agree each guess in English first. Solving it scores 7 minus the guesses used.
  • Last lesson's word. Use Teacher's word for a word from the previous lesson and send the link as homework or a lesson starter.
