About this game
Six tries to find a mystery word: that's the whole of Word Guess, a bare-bones take on the guessing game that went viral a few years back. There's a hidden word, you have six attempts to find it, and every guess colours its letters to tell you how you did. The feedback follows the usual scheme with one colour swap. Grey means the letter isn't in the word at all. Orange means it's in the word but in a different position. Green means it's in exactly the right place. From there it's a process of elimination and a bit of vocabulary. It's free, and the listing says nothing about modes, stats, multiplayer or offline play, so assume the basics only.
Word Guess - Word Games: the full guide
What the game is
Mediaflex's Word Guess is as minimal as the genre gets. A word is hidden, six attempts are allowed, and after each guess the letters colour themselves to tell you how you did. That's the entire listing, more or less, and the developer doesn't pretend otherwise.
The colour scheme has one change from the version everyone knows: grey for a letter not in the word, orange for a right letter in the wrong place, and green for a letter sitting exactly where it belongs. Nothing is said about modes, statistics, multiplayer or offline play. It's free, rated 4+, and holds a 4.7 from over 100,000 reviewers.
How a session plays
Type a five-letter word. Watch the tiles flip grey, orange or green. Use what you've learned to narrow the next guess, and repeat until the row turns fully green or you've used all six tries. The orange tiles are the useful ones, telling you a letter is present but misplaced, and the real skill is choosing an opening word that tests common letters efficiently.
A round takes a minute or two. With no stated daily limit and no stated modes, the assumption is that you just play another one, which makes it more of a practice tool than the once-a-day ritual the format started as.
Why people look for it
Searches for Wordle on the App Store return a crowd of clones, and this is one of the ones with enough ratings to appear near the top. People pick it because they want the basic game, free, without being sold modes they don't need. The 4.7 rating from 100,000-plus reviewers suggests it does the one job cleanly.
Look and feel
A grid of letter tiles and an on-screen keyboard are all this format needs, and the orange-for-yellow swap is the only visual deviation from the original. Four screenshots are on the page, one fewer than most of this batch, which fits a game with very little to show beyond the board. Expect a plain, uncluttered screen.
Updates and upkeep
Mediaflex Ltd isn't a name attached to many other titles in this set, and the listing offers nothing about updates. A game this simple may not need many. The 4.7 average across more than 100,000 ratings is a strong indicator that it works as advertised. Only the App Store link is attached.
