Guess The Phrase: a new phrase puzzle every day
Guess The Phrase is a free daily word game in the style of Wordle, but the answer is a whole phrase: an idiom, a proverb or an everyday saying. Fill every tile, press Enter and read the colours to close in on the answer within six guesses.
Everyone plays the same Daily phrase, and a new one arrives at midnight. Want more? Guess The Phrase Unlimited serves a fresh phrase the moment you finish.
How to play
Guess the hidden phrase in six tries. The tiles show you how many words it has and how long each one is. Every guess must fill all the tiles, and each word must be a real word.
The basics
- 1 Look at the layout. Each group of tiles is one word of the phrase, so you already know the shape of the answer before you type.
- 2 Type letters to fill the tiles from left to right. The cursor jumps from one word to the next on its own. Press Enter when every tile is filled. Each word must be a real English word.
- 3 After each guess the tiles change colour to tell you how close you are. Use the clues to work out the phrase.
- 4 Solve it within six guesses to win. In Daily mode everyone gets the same phrase. In Unlimited, a new phrase is ready as soon as you finish.

A round, step by step
The hidden phrase is PIECE OF CAKE.
Tips
- Short words first. Two- and three-letter words are usually OF, TO, IN, THE, AND or A. Lock them in early.
- Purple is a gift. It tells you a letter is in the phrase but not in that word, so move it to another word on your next guess.
- Think in idioms. Most phrases are common sayings, so once you have a word or two, say it out loud.
- Use grey letters on the keyboard to rule out whole words before you type them.
About the game
GuessThePhrase.com is a daily phrase-guessing game. Instead of a single word you are hunting for a whole saying, so every guess has to fit several words at once, and a fourth colour, purple, tells you when a letter is in the right phrase but the wrong word.
Play the Daily phrase, the same for everyone and new every midnight, or switch to Unlimited and play as many phrases as you like. Stats for each mode are saved on your device.

The letter is in the phrase, but in a different word than where you put it. Move it to another word on your next guess.
