How to play Daily word

Type a five letter word and press enter to lock it in. Tiles turn green when a letter is in the right spot, yellow when the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and grey when it is not in the word at all. You get six tries to guess the word of the day. A new word goes live every midnight.

Tips

Open with a word packed with vowels like RAISE or AROSE
Avoid reusing letters you already know are grey
When you have three greens, brute force the missing letters
Save tricky letters like X, Z and Q for later guesses
