Guess Word. Guess Word is a fun game that gives you six chances to guess a random word. You'll be told each time which letters you chose are in the target word and if they are located in the correct place. Each guess will see the letters change color to indicate how close you came to the word. Grey is the letter that is not included in the word. Based on our analysis, if you're trying to win in as few guesses as possible, the top three words to go with are "slice," "tried" and "crane." Using any of these three words will produce an average.
