A FREE DAILY WORD GAME
Meet KEYLESS
Five answers, one alphabet
KEYLESS is a daily word puzzle where your answers have to work together. Fill four category clues and a free space using words that never share letters between answers. Each choice changes what is possible everywhere else on the board.
Play today’s puzzle ↗Every word changes the puzzle
A word can be right for its category and still use a letter another answer needs. If one answer uses A, the other four must work without A. You can repeat letters inside the same word: EYE uses just E and Y.
The fifth answer is a free space for any accepted dictionary word. It gives you room to work with the letters left over. There are many possible combinations, so the challenge is to find a set that fits together.
Find five, then use fewer
Completing all five answers comes first. After that, the more letters you leave unused, the better your score. Short words and repeated letters can help, but a clever swap in one slot can open up the whole board.
There is no timer or speed bonus. Edit your words until you are ready to submit, then share your result without giving away your answers.
