5-Letter Crack

Word game · 1 to 8 players. Bots can play too.

Everyone in the room gets the same secret five-letter word and six tries to crack it. The fastest, sharpest guesser wins.

How to play

1. Type a five-letter word. The tiles show how close you were: teal means the right letter in the right spot, amber means the letter is in the word somewhere else, slate means it isn’t in the word.
2. You can see how many tries everyone has used and their colours, but never their letters.
3. Solving scores 100 points, plus 40 for every try you didn’t need, plus a bonus for the first three to solve.

Getting started

1. Open Jambo and tap “Create a room”.
2. Friends open Jambo on their phones and join with the room code.
3. The host picks a game and everyone plays together.

Good for: Word lovers, quick rounds, mixed ages.
