Wordsmith — today's five-word challenge
Connect touching letters and chunks to find five different words. Longer words earn more points.
Drag or tap touching tiles. Find five words.
Today's Wordsmith game is a 5×5 letter grid shared by everyone on this site. Connect tiles in any of eight directions, use each tile only once per word, and choose five different words. Letter chunks count as all their letters and carry their own point value.
The daily puzzle changes at midnight UTC. Revisit earlier boards in the archive or practice in unlimited mode. Our original boards use a dictionary solver to calculate the highest possible five-word total, so you can compare your choices with the board's full potential.
