Understand this puzzle

Choose a worked example after solving, or open just the part you need. These explanations are calculated from this recorded puzzle.

Compare the letters after solving

For DAILY, the pattern D_I__ fixes positions 1 and 3. It matches 38 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: DAIKO, DAINE, DAINT, DAIRY, DAISY, DEICE, DEIDS, DEIFY ….

8 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: DAIRY, DAISY, DALLY, DOILY, DRILY, GAILY, HAILY, NAILY. Check that differing position before treating a familiar spelling as the solution.

This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool. The recorded answer itself is outside this dictionary.

Why these alphabetical bounds work

DAILY comes after DAIKO: the first different letter is at position 4, where DAILY has L and DAIKO has K. Earlier positions match.

DAILY comes before DAINE: the first different letter is at position 4, where DAILY has L and DAINE has N. Earlier positions match.

These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.

Continue with your own clues

Alphabetical distance counts words in a dictionary, rather than the number of letters between guesses. Your game's dictionary can differ from this helper's.
