HelloWords – Find the hidden word 

Just like the classic Wordle, your goal is to guess the hidden word in six attempts. With each try, you enter any five-letter word and find out whether the letters are not included in the solution at all, appear in the solution but in a different position, or are in the exact same position as in your test word.
With every guess, you gain more precise information about the letter composition of the solution word. How strong is your vocabulary? Prove it now and play HelloWords for free and without download on Zaphira.

Tips & Tricks for Hello­Words

Hello­Words Tip 1

Tip #1: Common Letters

For your first of six attempts, it’s best to choose a word that contains five different and very common letters (e.g., E, A, I, N, R, S, T). This increases your chances of scoring early hits.

#2: Valid Words

Your test words must be valid words. Random strings of letters will trigger error messages. Pay attention to correct spelling and the handling of umlauts (Ö = OE).

Tip #3: Possible Words

You can enter nouns in singular or plural form, but verbs and adjectives are also allowed. English words that are commonly used in German can also be part of the game.
Hello­Words Tip 4

Tip #4: Six Attempts

Be careful: the solution word must be found by the “sixth attempt.” This means that if you have already entered five test words, the sixth must be identical to the solution word.

Tip #5: Relaxation

Take your time while playing! Although HelloWords doesn’t offer classic jokers, you do have time to think. Use it! There’s no timer running in the background to put you under pressure.

Instructions for Hello­Words

1. Basics

Hello­Words Instructions Basics
In HelloWords, you enter a valid word using the keyboard and then press the Enter key. If you’re playing at home on a PC, you can use your physical keyboard as well. After submitting a word, the result is revealed using colors.
If a letter in your test word is in the correct position in the solution word, it turns green. If a letter is part of the solution word but appears in a different position, it turns orange. Letters that turn gray do not appear in the solution word at all.
You can enter up to six test words in the grid to guess the hidden word.

2. Progress

Hello­Words Instructions Progress
The best way to make progress in HelloWords is to play regularly. This will naturally improve your vocabulary. Memorize a few words that work especially well as starting guesses. Focus on very common letters such as the vowels E, I, and A, and the consonants N, S, R, and T.
If your first test word contains as many of these letters as possible, you already have a good chance of landing some early matches. Possible starting words include, for example, EINST or STERN.

3. Scoring System
