How to play Unusual Word
Guess a word with 7 to 10 letters. Green letters are in the right place, yellow letters belong elsewhere and grey letters are absent. Accents are normalised: É counts as E. Words up to 8 letters allow 8 guesses; 9 or 10 letters allow 10 guesses.
Learn something after playing
After the game, discover the word’s meaning, origin and an example sentence. Unusual Word has its own daily streak, separate from classic five-letter Wordle. Real comparisons appear once enough qualifying results exist.
Come back tomorrow or keep exploring
Each language has one unusual word per day, shared by everyone and refreshed at midnight UTC. After playing, read its detailed article or continue with unlimited classic Wordle. The archives keep unusual words from previous days.
