Play today’s Verdle

Guess the word, then watch each letter slam onto the page: pandan when it sits in the right place, kaya when it’s in the word but elsewhere, kopi when it isn’t there at all.

Lah, leh, lor and every makan word in between: if you’d say it at the kopitiam, it could be the answer.

Questions from readers

What is soh.ai?
soh.ai is a small press of free daily word games in the way people actually talk, from Singlish and Manglish to American, British, Australian, Indian and Pakistani slang. Every game prints one edition a day, the same for every reader, with no accounts and no endless feed.
What games can I play on soh.ai?
Verdle, the daily slang word puzzle: the Singlish and Manglish daily at soh.ai/verdle, Makan, Places and Kampung editions, and country editions for the US, UK, Australia, India and Pakistan.
What is Verdle?
Verdle is a free daily word puzzle from soh.ai, built on Singlish and Manglish, the everyday English of Singapore and Malaysia. There is one hidden word a day, the same for every reader, and you have six guesses to find it.
How do you play Verdle?
Type any word of the day’s length and press Enter. Each letter is then inked: verdigris (green) when it is in the right place, ochre when it is in the word but somewhere else, and graphite when it is not in the word at all. Use the ink to close in on the word within six guesses.
How many letters is today’s word?
It changes every day, from four to seven letters. The board is set to the day’s length before you start, so you always know how many letters to find.
When is a new Verdle puzzle released?
A new edition is printed at midnight Singapore time (UTC+8), the same moment for every reader: 4 PM in London in winter, 11 AM in New York. Every edition is numbered: No. 1 was 1 January 2025. The country editions (US, UK, Aus, India and Pakistan) turn over at midnight in their own country instead.
Can I play past Verdle puzzles?
Yes. Every back issue since No. 1 can be played at its own address, such as soh.ai/verdle/2025-01-01, or picked from the back-issues calendar in the game. Back issues never count towards your streak.
Is Verdle the same as Wordle?
Verdle belongs to the same family of guess-the-word games, with its own twists: the answers are Singlish and Manglish words, the length changes every day from four to seven letters, and any spelling goes. Verdle is an independent game by soh.ai and is not affiliated with The New York Times or Wordle.
