Dartwords

Dartwords is a daily word guessing game. A talking dart named Darty gives you a clue after each guess. Use those clues to find the secret word in ten tries.

Game rules

  1. Type an English word and submit your first guess.
  2. Read Darty’s reply and check where your dart landed. Darts land closer to the bullseye when your guess is more closely related to the secret word.
  3. Use the clue to pick your next guess. Follow a promising connection or try a word that tests a different idea.
  4. Find the secret word before you use all ten darts.

Quick tip

If two guesses land near the bullseye, look for something they have in common. Use that connection to pick your next word.

About Dartwords

A guess like “library” could lead you toward books, buildings, or things you borrow. Darty’s reply can help you decide which connection to follow. If several guesses get you similar replies, try a word that tests a different interpretation.

A guess can be useful even when it lands far from the bullseye. The reply might point to a distinction you missed, such as whether the word names a place or something you’d find there.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how long the secret word is?

You can start with an English word of any length. Use Darty’s replies to narrow down your next guess.
