How to play Word Dash
Word Dash is a word guessing puzzle. Each level hides a word of a set length. Type a real word and every letter is marked: green when it is in the right place, yellow when it is in the word but somewhere else, grey when it is not in the word at all. Use the clues to find the hidden word before you run out of tries.
Levels start with short three-letter words and climb to six letters, and later levels give you one try less. Solve words quickly to score more, and build a win streak for a bigger multiplier. Stuck? Watch an optional video to reveal one correct letter, or to keep your streak after a miss with one extra try.
Come back every day for the daily word and grow your day streak. Choose a colour theme, play with a keyboard or with touch, and your level, score and best result are saved on your device.
