Thirdle

Thirdle is a daily word puzzle where your mission is to solve three interlocking 5-letter words in a mini crossword grid in 6 guesses.

You start with two letters already revealed to give you a foothold. From there, you type words and watch the color-coded feedback guide you toward the solution. The twist is that every letter you place affects multiple words at once, so you're juggling three answers simultaneously.

• You have 6 guesses to complete the mini crossword.
• Two correct letters are revealed at the start.
• Type a 5-letter word as your guess.
• Letters turn green if they're in the right word and correct position.
• Orange means right word, wrong position.
• Purple means the letter belongs in a different word in the grid.
• Black means the letter isn't used anywhere.
• A new puzzle drops daily in Normal Daily mode, with Bonus Daily and Unlimited modes also available.

Why we like it:

• ✅The crossword format adds spatial reasoning to classic word guessing.
• ✅Color feedback is more nuanced than standard word games, rewarding careful attention.
• ✅Six guesses feels generous but still demands strategy.

Hint: Focus on placing the purple letters first. They tell you exactly which word they belong to, giving you anchor points to build around. Don't waste guesses ignoring that information.
