The ranking system uses semantic similarity to rank all words in our vocabulary based on how similar they are to the secret word. Rank 1 is the most similar word, rank 2 is the second most similar, and so on. The rankings are calculated using word embeddings (GloVe for English, FastText for French) that capture the meaning and context of words.
You can guess any word that exists in our vocabulary database. The vocabulary includes common words from the word embeddings we use. If a word isn't recognized, it means it's not in our vocabulary and you'll need to try a different word.
A new secret word is selected every day at midnight (in your local timezone). This word is the same for all players worldwide. You can play previous days' words by selecting them from the game menu. Your progress is tracked by date, so you can see which daily words you've completed.
