Sixward

A Wordle-style word game where the twist is scoring, not speed. You have 6 guesses at a 5-letter word, but you only score points if you eventually land the correct word — and turns 5 and 6 carry Scrabble-style double/triple word multipliers. The longer you can stall on real near-miss words, the more you can potentially score, but if you never land the word, you score zero.

Word lists are independently compiled (SCOWL / word-list, MIT licensed, and FrequencyWords by hermitdave, CC BY-SA 4.0) — see the in-app footer for full attribution. Max possible score is calculated per-word and shown at the top of each round, along with a "view perfect solution" reveal after each game.
