Word of the Day

A quick daily brain teaser: we scramble a mystery word and you race to unscramble it. Build a streak by guessing correctly in a row, and lean on the hint if you get stuck. A fun 30-second habit for word lovers.

How to play

Word of the Day is a bite-sized daily brain teaser: we scramble a mystery word and you race to unscramble it, building a streak with every correct guess.

1. Look at the scrambled letters at the top of the card.
2. Type your guess and press Guess (or hit Enter).
3. Build your streak: a correct guess grows it; a wrong guess resets it to zero, so play carefully.
4. Need a hand? Press Show hint for a clue, Reveal answer to give up, or New word for a fresh puzzle any time.

Pro tips

• Hunt for common endings like -ing, -tion, -ern or -er to unlock longer words fast.
