How to Play SEEKING

SEEKING is a free daily word puzzle. Each day there's one puzzle, the same for everyone, and it takes about a minute. There's no sign-up and nothing to install — just open it and play.

The goal: find the hidden word that joins both sides to make two new words.

How guesses work

You get five guesses. Type any real word and submit it. After each guess:

Hints unlock as you go

You don't need a big vocabulary — the game helps you. Each wrong guess reveals a little more: first the word length and which letters are impossible, then matching letters glow on the keyboard, then the last letter, then the first. By guess five, most people get there.

Want a harder challenge?

Tap the gear icon before your first guess to turn on Hard Mode — fewer hints, just the first letter and word length. Your call, every day.
