A five-letter word, from Monday 22 June 2026

How to play

  1. Guess the day’s hidden Singlish or Manglish word in six tries. It is four to seven letters long; the board shows how many.
  2. Type any word of that length, in any spelling, and press Enter.
  3. 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.
  4. When the game ends, win or lose, the paper prints the word’s meaning, an example and where it comes from.
