A five-letter word, from Monday 1 June 2026
Verdle No. 517 was printed on Monday 1 June 2026. Set it again here: six guesses, any spelling, and it stays off the record, so your streak is safe.
How to play
- Guess the day’s hidden Singlish or Manglish word in six tries. It is four to seven letters long; the board shows how many.
- Type any word of that length, in any spelling, and press Enter.
- Each letter is inked: verdigris when it is in the right place, ochre when it is in the word but elsewhere, graphite when it isn’t in the word.
- When the game ends, win or lose, the paper prints the word’s meaning, an example and where it comes from.
