THE BIG WORD

One big word a day

The Big Word is a free daily word puzzle. Every midnight, a single 10-letter English word arrives — the same word for every player in the world — and you have eight guesses to find it. Correct letters turn green, misplaced letters turn yellow, and letters that aren't in the word turn gray.

The twist: you don't have to guess ten letters at a time. Any word of five letters or more is a legal guess, so smaller probe words let you scout for letters before taking a big swing. Solve the daily to build your streak, then try bonus words for extra practice.
