Quick mini-story moment You type your first guess. Three tiles light up. Your brain goes: “Okay… so it has an A, but not there.” Now it’s a mystery you can actually solve. Wordix is a daily-style word puzzle. You have up to six guesses to find a hidden five-letter word. After each guess, the game shows color feedback that tells you what to keep, what to move, and what to stop using. It’s short, calm, and strangely satisfying—especially when your last two guesses feel like detective work. What you do in the game Each round follows the same loop: Guess any valid five-letter word. Read the color hints: Correct spot letters are locked in. Wrong spot letters are in the word but need a new position. Not in the word letters should be avoided (unless testing a double letter). Make a new guess that uses what you learned. Repeat until you solve it—or use all six tries. The goal isn’t typing fast. It’s narrowing possibilities until only one word fits.

Many versions track: streaks average guesses guess distribution (how often you win in 3, 4, 5, etc.) keyboard hints that remember what you’ve learned A great Wordix habit: protect your last guess by removing “trap” options early. Smart strategy you can repeat every day The strongest approach has a rhythm: 1) Start with a high-coverage word. You want lots of common letters and at least two vowels. (Think in terms of coverage, not “magic.”) 2) Make a “mapper” guess. Your second guess should test new letters and try moving any “wrong spot” letters into different positions. 3) Build a skeleton. Once you have a pattern like _ A _ E R, stop guessing randomly. Now you’re solving a structure. 4) Watch out for double letters. Don’t assume a letter appears twice until the board pushes you there—but don’t forget it’s possible. Tips to play better (8–12 specific tactics) Don’t repeat letters on guess 1 unless you’re testing something on purpose. Five unique letters gives more info. Use two vowels early. It’s easier to build a word when you know the vowel team. Move “wrong spot” letters immediately. If A is in the word but misplaced, try A in positions 2–4 next. Track letters in three groups: locked (correct spot), floating (in word, wrong spot), dead (not in word). Make your second guess a scanner. Include 3–5 letters you haven’t tested yet. Avoid “dead” letters completely. Don’t waste a turn reusing them unless you’re checking for a duplicate letter rule. Plan two guesses ahead. If you’re checking whether it ends with -ER or -LY, prepare both follow-up options. Use a confirmation guess when stuck between two words. Pick a word that tests the single letter difference. Trap warning: if you have _ A _ E R, there can be many answers. Use a guess that tests multiple possible first letters. Don’t panic on guess 4. Take a breath, then go. Your best clue work happens late. Tip: Information beats excitement. If you keep losing on guess 6, it usually means you didn’t “map” enough letters early—next round, make your second guess a bigger scanner. Real moment: the board looks messy with yellows… then suddenly two greens appear and everything snaps into place. That’s Wordix working. Modes and accessibility (if available) Some versions include: color-independent markers (shapes or underlines) keyboard hints that mirror the board state relaxed mode with extra help or more turns These are great for classrooms and family play. Common problems & quick fixes “It says my guess isn’t a word.” Try a more common spelling; some puzzles use a limited dictionary. Colors are hard to see: Turn on high-contrast or symbol markers. I keep repeating dead letters by accident: Look at the keyboard color hints before typing. Lag or input delay: Refresh the page and close extra tabs. Full screen issues: Exit and re-enter full screen; rotate mobile if needed. Sound/haptics missing: Check in-game settings and device settings. Parent tip Wordix helps kids practice spelling patterns, logic, and patience. It’s perfect for a short daily routine. A good rule: one puzzle, then a break. Quick info Platform: Browser (HTML5) Genre: Word puzzle / logic deduction Age fit: 7–13 Session length: 2–6 minutes Controls: Keyboard or on-screen keyboard FAQ Q1: What’s a good first-guess goal? A: Use five different letters with common vowels and consonants to get lots of clues. Q2: When should I try double letters? A: After you’ve mapped most letters, or when the clues suggest a repeated letter. Q3: How do I avoid getting trapped by many similar words? A: Use a confirmation guess that tests multiple possible missing letters at once. Q4: Is speed important? A: No. Careful guessing wins more often than fast guessing. Q5: What if I can’t see the colors well? A: Use high-contrast or symbol markers if the game offers them. Q6: Can families play together? A: Yes—talking through guesses is half the fun and teaches reasoning.
