Five-Letter Quest: find the hidden word

How to play Five-Letter Quest

1. Choose 4 letters (easier) or 5 letters, or open the daily challenge.
2. Type a word with your keyboard or the on-screen keys and press Enter.
3. Green means the right letter in the right place. Yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else. Grey means it is not in the word.
4. Use the colours to narrow down the answer. The keyboard also changes colour.
5. You have six tries. When you finish, press Share to copy your coloured grid.

Tips and strategy

• Start with a word that has common letters and different vowels, such as 'stare' or 'house'.
• Use your second guess to test new letters instead of repeating yellow ones in the same spot.
• Remember that a letter can appear twice. A second yellow or green may mean a double.
• Any word of the right length counts as a guess, so you can use a guess just to test letters.
