Yellow Yellow
The anagram Wordle where every tile turns yellow
Yellow Yellow is a daily Wordle variation where the goal is flipped: instead of guessing the secret 5-letter word, you win by guessing an anagram of it — with the constraint that none of the anagram's letters can sit in the same position as they do in the secret word. For example, if the secret word is STALE, STEAL doesn't win (S and T are in the same spots), but TALES does. Tiles are colored relative to the secret word, and a new puzzle appears each day.
Key Features
Anagram-based win condition
You win by guessing a 5-letter anagram of the secret word rather than the word itself.
No shared positions rule
The winning anagram cannot have any letter in the same position as in the secret word — a stricter constraint that makes TALES valid for STALE but not STEAL.
Familiar Wordle tile feedback
Green means the letter is in the word in the correct spot, yellow means it's in the word but wrong spot, grey means it's not in the word — all judged against the secret word, not the anagram.
Daily puzzle format
A new puzzle is released each day, numbered (the site shows puzzle #81 for September 27, 2026), with prev/next navigation between days.
Plurals allowed
Both the secret word and the winning anagram can be plural words.
On-screen QWERTY keyboard
The game includes a full virtual keyboard with Enter and backspace for submitting guesses on touch devices.
How It Works
- 1
1. Get a daily secret word
Each day there's a new 5-letter secret word (puzzles are numbered and dated).
- 2
2. Guess anagram candidates
Type 5-letter guesses using the on-screen or physical keyboard. Tile colors show how each guess compares to the secret word, helping you identify its letters.
- 3
3. Win by anagramming
Once you know the secret word, rearrange its letters into a valid word where no letter keeps its original position — that guess turns every tile yellow and wins the game.

FAQ
How do I win in Yellow Yellow?
You win by guessing a 5-letter anagram of the secret word in which none of the letters are in the same position as they are in the secret word. For example, if the secret word is STALE, TALES wins, but STEAL doesn't because S and T remain in the same spots.
How does the tile coloring work?
Tiles are colored relative to the secret word, not the anagram: green means the letter is in the word and in the correct spot, yellow means it's in the word but the wrong spot, and grey means it's not in the word at all.
Can I use plural words?
Yes — both the secret word and the winning anagram can be plural words.
Is there a new puzzle every day?
Yes, it follows a daily format with numbered puzzles (e.g., puzzle #81 on September 27, 2026), and you can navigate to previous or next puzzles.
Is it free to play?
The site presents the game as a freely playable browser word puzzle; no pricing, accounts, or purchases are mentioned anywhere on the page.
