Objective

Deduce the hidden five-letter word using only the total number of correctly placed and misplaced letters after each guess.

Playlin'sGuide

Hunch is a daily word game that takes familiar Wordle-style feedback and removes one very helpful detail: it never tells you which letters earned each result.

Enter a five-letter word and Hunch reports how many letters are in the correct position and how many belong in the answer but are misplaced. Instead of coloring individual tiles, it gives you only the totals, leaving you to work out which letters they refer to.

  • Enter any valid five-letter word.
  • The green total shows how many letters are in the correct position.
  • The yellow total shows how many letters appear in the word but are in the wrong position.
  • Individual letters are never marked, so every guess must help you test a theory.
  • There is no guess limit. Keep experimenting until you identify the hidden word.
  • Play this daily classic puzzle or try the daily Hunch Cascade, where you must solve three words in a row.
  • Create an account to challenge another player in multiplayer mode.

Why we like it:

  • βœ…Familiar Wordle logic becomes a much deeper deduction puzzle.
  • βœ…Every guess feels like a miniature experiment.
  • βœ…Unlimited attempts let the puzzle get brutally difficult without becoming unfair.

Hint: Change only one or two letters at a time when testing a theory. Comparing similar guesses makes it much easier to determine which letters caused the green and yellow totals to change.
