What Five Letters is
Guess the day’s five-letter word in six tries. Green is in place, amber is elsewhere in the word — and the whole world is chasing the same answer.
Five Letters is Table Party’s daily word puzzle, inspired by the five-letter guessing format. Green marks a letter in its correct place, amber marks a letter elsewhere in the word, and grey rules a letter out subject to the word’s repeated-letter feedback.
In the two-player version, both phones share the same grid. Either player can submit a row, so agree on the next guess before one of you enters it. The daily board ranks fewer guesses before faster solving.

How to play Five Letters
- One secret five-letter word, the same for everyone today. You have six guesses.
- Every guess must be a real word. After it lands, each letter tells you what it knows: green is in the right place, amber is in the word somewhere else, grey is not in it.
- The keyboard remembers — letters wear their best verdict so far.
- The clock counts UP. The daily board ranks the fewest rows first, then the fastest solve.
- Play it alone or with one friend on a second phone — you share one grid, either of you can play a row, and you watch each other type. Same leaderboard either way. Three or more at the table race on a fresh word instead, each on your own grid.
