ENIGMA

The classic guess-the-secret-word game, with color-coded clues after every try.

🎯 Difficulty: 3 levels: easy (8 guesses), medium (6) and hard (5) — push it further with 6 or 7-letter words.⏱ Average time: 2 to 5 minutes per round.

Objective

Figure out the secret word within your allowed number of guesses, using the color feedback on each letter.

How to play

  • • Guess the 5-letter word. Pick a level: easy gives more attempts, hard gives fewer.
  • • 🟩 Green — correct letter, right position.
  • • 🟨 Yellow — letter in word, wrong position.
  • • ⬛ Gray — letter not in the word.

Example round

You type "HOUSE" and see H gray, O yellow, U gray, S green, E green. That already tells you H and U aren't in the word, O is somewhere else, and the 4th and 5th letters are S and E. Your next guess uses that to close in on the answer.

Tips to play better

  • 💡 Start with a word that has varied vowels (like A, E and O) to quickly find out which letters exist in the answer.
  • 💡 Pay attention to gray letters: they don't appear in the word, so avoid reusing them on later guesses.
  • 💡 If two letters from the same word turn yellow in different spots, try swapping their positions on your next try.

Did you know?

Enigma follows the same logic as Wordle, the game that went viral worldwide in 2022 — but here you pick the word length, from 4 to 7 letters, and the language.
