The Boring Daily
One five-letter word, six guesses, a new one every day. No ads, no account, no popup asking you to subscribe before you have played.
Questions people ask
Is there a signup or an ad?
No. No account, no email, no ads, no cookie banner and nothing to subscribe to. You open the page and you play — which is the whole point of this site.
Does everyone get the same word?
Yes. The word is worked out from today's UTC date by the code running on your device, so every player gets the same puzzle without a server handing it out. It changes at midnight UTC.
Does sharing my result spoil it?
No. The shared grid is only coloured squares — it shows how many guesses you took and how close each one was, never which letters you tried.
Where is my streak kept?
In your own browser's local storage. That makes it private and account-free; it also means clearing your browser data or moving to another device resets it. There is no login to sync it, deliberately.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the puzzle keeps working with no connection — including tomorrow's, since the word comes from the date rather than a download.
How this works & why it’s private
The answer list ships with the page as a plain JavaScript file, and the day's word is picked by counting days since 1 January 2026 in UTC — so there is no request to a server to find out what today's puzzle is, and no request to tell anyone how you did. Your guesses, your streak and your stats are written to this browser's localStorage and never leave the device. Sharing copies a block of text to your clipboard; where you paste it is entirely up to you. Open your dev-tools Network tab and play a full round — nothing uploads.
