What is Quintessential?

Solve each of the 5 horizontal words in as few swaps as possible. It belongs to the word family of daily games: one shared puzzle per day for every player.

How to play

  1. Type a guess and press Enter to submit it.
  2. Coloured tiles tell you which letters are right, misplaced or absent.
  3. Use every clue to narrow it down before you run out of guesses.

Tips & strategy

Start with a vowel-rich opener, never reuse letters you know are absent, and think about common letter patterns before your final guesses.
