A five-letter deduction puzzle built around vocabulary

Pentaword gives six attempts to find one hidden five-letter word. Green, yellow and gray tiles show whether a letter is correct, misplaced or absent, turning every guess into evidence for the next one.

Use spelling, vocabulary and positional clues to submit the correct word within six guesses. You can type on a keyboard or select the on-screen letters with the mouse.

Pentaword questions

Why is Pentaword relevant to vocabulary games?

Its entire loop is choosing valid five-letter words and interpreting letter-position feedback, so vocabulary and spelling are central rather than decorative.

What do the Pentaword colors mean?

Green is the right letter in the right place, yellow is the right letter in another place, and gray means the letter is not in the answer.
