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.

Wordle in German, English and Ukrainian

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.

Unlike Wordle, you don’t only play on your own: you challenge friends to duels and collect points in a friends league that starts over every month.

What's inside?

Daily word One puzzle per language every day, the same for everyone — with a "par" to compare against.

Training Playable offline too, four difficulty levels from "Relaxed" to "Expert". Add a time limit or strict mode, Wordle's hard mode: revealed letters must appear in your next guess.

Duels & friends league Challenge friends or share an open challenge by link. Whoever accepts needs no account. Your points count in the monthly friends league.

How to get it

Not in the app stores 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").
