Frequently asked questions about Daily Worder
What games are included in Daily Worder?
Daily Worder includes five different word puzzles: Fourbe (four rounds with clues connecting to a hidden subject), Totum (pick 8 letters from 16 to make all possible words), Pyramid (pick one vowel that works with every row simultaneously), Invertle (guess a five-letter combination using higher/lower hints), and Spying Bee (letters reveal gradually across a grid as you piece together words).
Is Daily Worder free to play?
Yes, all daily puzzles are completely free with no paywall. No subscription is required and no account is needed to play the daily puzzles. The site has no ads. A premium account is optional and unlocks additional content like more Fourbe puzzles, endless modes, and beta games.
When do new puzzles release?
New puzzles drop at 5 AM Eastern Time every single day. Each of the five games gets one new puzzle daily at this time.
Do I need to create an account to play?
No account is required to play the daily puzzles. You can play all five daily games without signing up or creating an account. A premium account is only needed if you want additional features like endless modes and more Fourbe puzzles.
How long does each game take?
Each game takes 3-5 minutes to complete. This makes Daily Worder perfect for playing on your commute or stacking all five games over coffee.
What is Fourbe?
Fourbe is a four-round puzzle where each round gives you a single deviously crafted clue pointing to a hidden word. There is no grid and no letter-guessing—you commit to each answer with no backspace or undo. After sweeping all four rounds, you guess the hidden subject connecting them all for a perfect 6,000-point game. Most players don't achieve this.
What is the premium account?
The premium account unlocks more Fourbe puzzles beyond the daily one, endless modes for the games, and access to games that are still in beta. The daily puzzles remain free even without premium.
Who created Daily Worder?
Daily Worder is a small, independent puzzle studio run by one editor who creates all five games. The creator started it because most word games on the market felt generic, and wanted to make puzzles that make players feel smart through clever wordplay.
What makes Invertle different from Wordle?
Invertle uses a five-letter combination lock format where you guess and the game tells you whether each letter is higher or lower than the target letter in the alphabet. There are no green or yellow squares—just directional arrows and deductive reasoning. It rewards logical thinking and punishes guessing.
Can I play Daily Worder on my phone?
Yes, Daily Worder has an iOS app available on the App Store called 'Daily Worder' by Robert Bartley. The app provides the same five daily word puzzles that are available on the website, and you can play without sign-up or subscription.
