WORD GAME GUIDE
How to Play Eight Word Guess: Rules and Scoring
Solve eight five-letter words in thirteen shared guesses, using the separate feedback on each board.
Controls and allowed moves
Enter one five-letter guess. Every unsolved board responds. A check marks a letter in the right position, a tilde marks a letter elsewhere, and an × marks no extra match. Boards that are already solved stop updating.
Solving strategy
Look for boards that are one letter away before committing your final few guesses. With several open boards and little evidence, a guess that tests multiple unused letters can help more boards at once.
Worked example
Suppose board 2 shows S, T and O in the right positions for STORM, and board 6 marks O elsewhere. Try STONE if the first board allows N and E. Board 6 also gets feedback for that guess.
Common mistakes
A word that looks likely on one board can still be a poor guess if it repeats letters that you have already ruled out everywhere else. With thirteen turns for eight boards, keep an eye on the number still unsolved.
Daily score calculation
Each solved board earns 125 points. Six boards earn 750. You get the same number of points for each solved board regardless of the order.
