Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike Wordle, Cryptic Word Quest supports dynamic word lengths (3 to 8 letters), infinite play through themed category packs, in-game dictionary hints (definitions), and a custom arcade sound synth.
Q Can I play custom words with friends?
Yes! You can design custom word challenges with customized hints and attempts. These share as a secure, client-side encrypted URL link requiring no accounts.
Q What happens if I type a word not in the dictionary?
If you guess a word that is not in the dictionary, the tiles turn purple (No Such Word), the row shakes, and it costs 1 guess attempt as an extra challenge.
Q Are my scores and streaks saved?
Yes. Your puzzle solves, streak, and max streak are saved locally in your browser's local storage and sync on each load.
