Skeedle500: Word Deduction Puzzle

Find a five-letter word from totals of matching letters rather than individual letter colors.

How to play

  1. Find the hidden five-letter word in eight guesses.
  2. The feedback gives totals: green counts letters in the correct position, yellow counts correct letters elsewhere, and pink counts absent or excess letters.
  3. The totals do not identify which letters match. Click submitted tiles to cycle your own color notes as you reason it out.
  4. Type a valid five-letter word and press Enter to submit. Match the target exactly to win.

A quick example

Two green matches mean two letters have the right positions, but the feedback does not say which two. Compare guesses to work them out.
