Objective

Guess words from progressively revealed meanings, then solve a final timed puzzle where one of four clues is an impostor.

Playlin'sGuide

FacetWord is a daily word game where familiar words reveal their many meanings. Each day brings five puzzles, ending with a special round called The Twist.

In the first four puzzles, you're looking for one word that fits several meanings. You start with a single clue and can reveal up to three. The earlier you solve it, the more points you earn.

  • Type your answer and submit your guess.
  • You get one guess per meaning, with up to three guesses per regular puzzle.
  • A wrong guess reveals the next meaning. You can also choose Show another meaning if you're stuck.
  • Each new meaning describes the same word, so look for an answer that fits every clue you've seen.

The fifth puzzle changes the rules. The Twist presents four clues at once. Three point to the same word, while one is an impostor. Find the word that connects the three genuine clues.

Choose your challenge before the difficulty is revealed:

  • One Shot: 25 seconds and one guess.
  • Play It Safe: 45 seconds and three guesses.

Each word you solve also helps polish your Facet, a gem that develops from Rough Stone toward Diamond. That progress stays with you even if you miss a day.


Why we like it:

  • βœ…Familiar words become surprisingly slippery when you approach them through different meanings.
  • βœ…Gradually revealed clues give you another way in when your first idea doesn't fit.
  • βœ…The Twist adds a timed finale with a misleading clue to untangle.

Hint: In The Twist, test your answer against all four clues: it should fit three, not four.
