Set up your game
Play alone starts at once, no nickname. For a room you choose a nickname, then share the invite link. You can still change the settings in the room.
Today's challenge The same questions for everyone today, with the usual settings.
How to play
Type a word
Any real five-letter word. One that isn't in the word list doesn't use a try.
Read the colours
Blue: right letter, right place. Orange: in the word, elsewhere. Grey: not in the word.
Close in
Use the clues to find the word in as few tries as you can. Fewer tries score more.
Good to know
- Six tries per word; 100 points at the first try, 10 fewer for each try after.
- A letter typed twice is marked twice only if the word has it twice.
- English or Italian words; accents don't matter.
- Today's challenge: the same word for everyone, every day.
- With friends, everyone has their own board: you see their colours, never their letters.
Alone or with friends

Questions
Is there a new word every day?
Yes: Today's challenge gives everyone the same word each day, in English or Italian. You can also play as many other words as you like.
Which words can I try?
Any real word of five letters from the game's dictionary, which has thousands. Names of people and places don't count.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Create a room, share the link, and everyone looks for the same word on their own board. Fewer tries, more points.
Is it free?
Yes. Every FunFoxes game is free to play, with nothing to buy.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. FunFoxes runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. You only type a nickname when you play with friends.
Who can join my room?
Only people with your invite link. Rooms are private and end when everyone has left.
