An optional subscription removes ads, preserves streaks and stats across devices, and is offered as a monthly or yearly plan with free trial periods. Alphaguess is credited to idle minutes.
How to play Alphaguess
- Choose Normal or Hard mode to start the daily puzzle.
- Type a valid English word as your first guess and submit it.
- Read the feedback which tells you whether the secret word comes before or after your guess alphabetically.
- Use that directional information to narrow the alphabetical range and enter another guess.
- Repeat until you identify the secret word for the day and view your stats and shareable result.
Tips for Alphaguess
- Start with a mid-alphabet common word to bisect the search range quickly.
- Use words that are near the middle of your current alphabetical window to halve possibilities each turn.
- Keep a mental or written list of endpoints (earliest and latest possible words) and update them after each hint.
- In Hard mode, assume the solution is less common and avoid overly frequent words as first probes.
