Word Games
Words are your weapons.
Word games turn vocabulary into a puzzle. Instead of asking what a word means, they ask you to find it from partial information โ a pattern of letters, a set of clues or a process of elimination โ which makes them as much about logic as about language.
LetterGrid is the daily word game on PapoGames. You have six tries to find a hidden five-letter word. After each guess, every letter is coloured to show whether it is in the word and in the right place, in the word but in the wrong place, or not in the word at all. The skill is in choosing guesses that rule out as many letters as possible, not only guesses that might be right.
There are four ways to play. Daily has one word that is the same for everyone that day. Practice gives unlimited games. Hard mode requires every letter you have confirmed to be used again in your next guesses, which removes the option of a throwaway word. Blitz is a faster variant with four-letter words and five tries.

A good first guess uses common letters without repeats โ for example a word with two vowels and three frequent consonants. From the second guess, try to place the letters you have found in new positions while testing letters you have not seen yet; that is usually faster than guessing the answer directly.
LetterGrid keeps your statistics, including games played, win rate and current streak, in your browser, and on a phone it opens your own keyboard for typing. If you enjoy letter-by-letter deduction, WordTrap, the hangman game in the puzzle category, uses a similar kind of reasoning.
