DevWord — Daily Tech Word

DevWord is a daily Wordle-style puzzle where every answer is a five-letter tech term — words like cache, regex, proxy, nginx, kafka and async rather than everyday dictionary words. You get six guesses; after each one the tiles show green for a letter in the right spot, yellow for a letter in the word but misplaced, and grey for a letter that is not in the answer at all.

The daily word is picked deterministically from the date, so everyone playing on the same day gets the same puzzle — which is what makes comparing results fun. When you finish, you can share a spoiler-free emoji grid of your guesses, exactly like classic Wordle, and a countdown shows when the next puzzle unlocks at midnight local time.

Unlike the original Wordle, any five-letter guess is accepted, not just words from the answer list. That is deliberate: it lets you probe letters freely — guessing something like "nginx" or "redux" is a legitimate strategy even if you do not think it is the answer. The game also keeps honest stats on your device: games played, win percentage, a guess distribution chart, and a streak that resets if you skip a day, not just if you lose.
