5 Letter Challenge
Guess the hidden 5-letter word in six tries. Green means the right letter in the right place, yellow means the letter is in the word elsewhere, gray means it is not used.
How to play
Type a valid 5-letter word and press Enter. Each tile changes color to show how close you are. Use the feedback to choose your next guess. You have six tries. The keyboard keeps track of the letters you have already tested.
