Word of Fortune: A Clever Twist on Classic Wordplay
Word of Fortune blends the best of your favorite word games — the five-letter guessing of Wordle, the clue-driven thinking of the NYT Mini Crossword, and the letter-revealing thrill of Wheel of Fortune. It’s a fast, fun challenge for word lovers and clue chasers alike.
Each puzzle begins with a short, clever clue to guide you toward a hidden five-letter word. Solve it using just the clue, or spin the wheel for up to three letters revealed in their correct spots.
The difficulty varies day to day. While some puzzles feel like a Monday breeze, others might leave you spinning. It’s generally easier than a crossword, but we’re always tuning the balance. Your feedback helps us make the game sharper, fairer, and more enjoyable for everyone, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think!
Whether you’re sharpening your clue-solving skills for the NYT Crossword or just squeezing in a smart daily challenge, Word of Fortune is quick to play, satisfying to solve, and keeps your word brain in top form.
