Moyako Word Puzzle is a daily vocabulary workout built around
letter-grid hunting and word-building. Each round presents a grid of
letters; trace valid words by tapping or swiping adjacent tiles.
Three tiers — Easy (4-letter grid, common words), Medium (5-letter
grid, mixed difficulty) and Hard (6-letter grid, rare words count
double) — keep sessions fresh. Games take 3 to 8 minutes and feed
your streak + leaderboard rank.
How to Play
Pick a difficulty tier and press Start Word Puzzle.
Tap or drag across adjacent letter tiles to form a word. Letters can touch horizontally, vertically or diagonally — no revisits in the same word.
Release or tap Submit to score. Valid words light up green; non-dictionary words bounce back without penalty.
Aim to find as many words as possible before the timer runs out. Longer words score exponentially more.
The Shuffle button rearranges tiles once per round. Use it when you're stuck.
Skills Used
Verbal Fluency — generating words quickly from a constrained letter set.
Pattern Recognition — spotting recurring prefixes, suffixes and root letter-clusters.
Working Memory — tracking which tiles you've used mid-swipe and which letter combinations you've already found.
Lexical Retrieval — activating vocabulary under time pressure, the same skill that supports everyday conversation.
Tips for Better Play
Start with 3-letter anchors (AND, THE, ING) to map the grid before chasing longer words.
Build outward from common suffixes — ING, ED, ER, EST — for quick multi-word scoring runs.
Watch for vowel clusters. Grids heavy on A/E/I open more word paths than consonant-heavy ones.
Don't ignore short words. Four 3-letter words often beats one 6-letter word on the scoreboard.

Moyako Word Puzzle is a daily word-guessing game. A secret word is
hidden; you have five to eight tries to find it, depending on the tier. After each guess the tile
colours tell you which letters are right and where they belong, so
every guess narrows down the answer. Five difficulty tiers set the
word length — from four-letter words for a quick round up to
seven-letter words for a tougher one. A round takes 2 to 5 minutes
and every solved word feeds your streak + leaderboard rank.
How to Play
Pick a difficulty tier and pressStart Word Puzzle.
Type a real word of the right length using the on-screen keyboard, then press Enter to submit it as a guess.
Read the tile colours. A green tile means the letter is correct and in the right spot; an amber tile means the letter is in the word but somewhere else; a grey tile means the letter is not in the word at all.
Use the clues to crack the word before your tries run out. Stuck on a word? The Skip button gives you a fresh one and keeps your streak.
Pick your difficulty before you start. Higher tiers use longer words, so each guess covers more letters.
Skills Used
Vocabulary — drawing on the words you know to find a fit
Pattern — spotting repeating shapes, sequences and structures on the board
Deduction — narrowing down the answer from the clues you have
Tips for Better Play
Open with a word rich in common vowels and consonants to test as many likely letters as possible in one go.
Once a letter turns green, keep it in the same spot on your next guess and change the others.
An amber letter belongs in the word but not where you put it — move it to a different position next time.
Don't waste a guess on letters already marked grey — spend each try testing new ones.
FAQ
Is it free?Yes — every difficulty tier and your daily streak are free.
How many guesses do I get?It depends on the tier — from 8 on Beginner down to 5 on Expert, one row on the board per try. If you run out of tries, the answer is revealed and you can start a new round.
Do hints cost points?Yes — each hint takes 15 points off that word's score. Hints can reveal at most half of the word's letters.
Are proper nouns allowed?No — no names, places or brand words.
Will non-English languages be supported?Spanish and Turkish word lists are on the roadmap.
