Five Letters — a free online arcade game on TotType
Five Letters is the guess-the-word game made for kids: a hidden five-letter word, six tries, and colour clues after every guess — green for a letter in the right place, yellow for a letter that is in the word somewhere else, grey for a letter that is not in it. Every answer is a common word an eight-year-old can spell (animals, food, school, weather, feelings), any five letters are accepted as a guess so nobody hits a 'not in word list' wall, and the moment you solve one the next word appears — no waiting for tomorrow. Your streak of solved words is the score. It's free in any browser with no download — the arcade just needs a free parent account with a verified email.

How to play Five Letters
Type or tap a five-letter guess and press Enter. Green tile: right letter, right spot. Yellow: right letter, wrong spot. Grey: not in the word. Solve it within six tries to keep your streak; a fresh word starts immediately.
Tips & tricks
- Start with a word full of common letters — something like STARE or PLANE — to colour in as many clues as possible.
- Yellow means the letter is in the word: move it to a new spot next guess, never the same one.
- Watch the on-screen keyboard — it remembers every colour you have learned so far.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Five Letters?
Guess a five-letter word and press Enter. The tiles colour themselves: green is right letter, right place; yellow is right letter, wrong place; grey is not in the word. You have six guesses.
Is it a new word every day?
It is a new word every round — as soon as you solve one, the next starts. Your streak counts how many you solve in a row without missing.
Are the words hard?
No. Every answer is a common word from a child's vocabulary, and any five letters are accepted as a guess.
