Objective

Guess a 5-letter word by interpreting arrows that show whether each wrong letter comes before or after the target letter in the alphabet.

Playlin'sGuide

AlphArrows is a daily word puzzle where your mission is to identify a 5-letter word using alphabetical clues that tell you whether each wrong letter comes too early or too late in the alphabet.

Each guess gives you arrows and color feedback. Wrong letters get an ↑ if they come before the correct letter alphabetically, or ↓ if they come after. The color tells you how close you are. String together those clues and you'll zero in on the answer.

  • Guess any 5-letter word to start.
  • Wrong letters show ↑ (too early in alphabet) or ↓ (too late in alphabet).
  • Color coding reveals how close each letter is to the correct one.
  • Speed Round adds a timer for quick-fire pressure.
  • A fresh word drops every day.

Why we like it:

  • The alphabetical feedback is a clever twist on the word guessing formula.
  • Multiple modes keep things fresh after you crack the daily puzzle.
  • That satisfying click when arrows and colors finally align is worth the chase.

Hint: Learn how the directional arrows narrow the field first. Use the keyboard hints to understand the valid letters.
