Wortex

The daily word puzzle — in German, English and Ukrainian.

What is it?

Wortex is a word puzzle in the style of Wordle: find a five-letter word in six tries. After every guess the letters change color — green means right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else, and grey means it is not in the word at all.

The twist: Wortex comes in German, English and Ukrainian. The daily word is the same for everyone and has a “par” like in golf — the number of tries the word takes on average. So you can compare yourself with others even if you play in different languages.

What's inside?

How to get it

From the app store You won't find it in the App Store or on Google Play: the stores charge fees and demand ongoing upkeep, which isn't worth it for a free side project. Installing works anyway — right from the browser:
Right in the browser This is a progressive web app (PWA): a website you can install like an app — with its own icon on your home screen and its own window, without browser bars.
  • iPhone / iPad: in Safari, tap Share, then "Add to Home Screen".
  • Android: in Chrome, open the menu (⋮), then "Install app" (or "Add to home screen").

Quick questions

Do I need an account?

No. A name and an emoji are enough to join in — no e-mail, no password.

What does the "par" mean?

The number of tries a word takes on average — like in golf. That’s how you compare yourself with others, even if you play in different languages.

Can I play offline?

Yes, in training: four difficulty levels from “Relaxed” to “Expert”, with a time limit or strict mode if you like.

Which languages does Wortex come in?

German, English and Ukrainian — interface and puzzle words. Every day there is one daily word per language.

Is Wortex in the App Store?

No. Wortex runs in the browser and installs from there as a web app, with its own icon on your home screen.
