Guess the Word Just Like in Wordle
Five letters, six tries, one solution: Hello Words brings the Wordle formula to zaphira.games. After every guess, the color of each letter shows you how close you are: green means correct and in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word but in the wrong spot, gray means it's not in the word at all. There's no timer pushing you, a round usually takes just a few minutes. That makes Hello Words part of zaphira.games' growing word puzzle lineup, alongside Word Lines, Word Match, and Spelling Hex. Guess your first word and dive right in.
Tips & Tricks for Hello Words
Tip #1
Common Letters
Your best bet for the first of your six tries is a word with five different, very common letters (e.g. E, A, R, S, T, O). That boosts your odds of landing direct hits.
Tip #2
Valid Words Only
Your guesses have to be real words. Random strings of letters trigger an error message. Watch your spelling.
Tip #3
Word Types Allowed
You can enter nouns in singular or plural, but verbs and adjectives work too. Common loanwords used in everyday English are also fair game.
Tip #4
Six Tries Total
Heads up: your sixth guess has to be the solution. If you've used five guesses already, your sixth one needs to match the answer exactly.
Tip #5
Take Your Time
Slow down! Hello Words doesn't give you classic hints, but it gives you unlimited time to think instead. Use it, completely pressure-free.
Tip #6
Good to Know
In the game settings, you can boost contrast, turn on colorblind-friendly icons, use the on-screen keyboard, and switch languages anytime.
Instructions for Hello Words
1. Smart Starting Words
Just like in the original Wordle, it pays off to start with a word full of common letters, vowels like E, A, and O, and consonants like N, S, R, and T. Words like AROSE or STARE make solid opening guesses and give you useful information right away.
2. No Scoreboard, But a Recap
Hello Words deliberately skips timers, points, and high scores. After each round, though, a summary still shows you how many guesses you needed and what percentage of players you beat.
3. Progress and the Archive
If you're registered on zaphira.games, your progress syncs automatically across your devices. With Zaphira Plus, you also get access to the full archive and can play as many past puzzles as you like.
