About Collapse
Collapse is a daily word-guessing game in three rounds: a six-letter word, then a five-letter word, then a four-letter word.
The three words never share a letter. Once you solve a word, its letters drop out of play and are crossed out on the keyboard, so every round gives you fewer letters to choose from.
How to play Collapse
- Guess the six-letter word. You have 7 tries.
- After each guess, the tiles change colour. Green with a crown is the right letter in the right spot. Orange with a check is in the word but somewhere else. Grey is not in the word.
- Solve the word and its letters are crossed out. The next word never uses them.
- Guess the five-letter word in 6 tries, then the four-letter word in 5.
- Use up to 3 hints a day on any of the words. Each hint is a clue, such as a definition or a letter.
Collapse FAQ
How many guesses do I get?
7 for the six-letter word, 6 for the five-letter word and 5 for the four-letter word.
Why do the colours have symbols?
The crown and check mark mean you can tell the colours apart without relying on colour alone.
How is Collapse scored?
Fewest total guesses wins. If that’s a tie, fewer hints and then a faster time decide it.
Can I practise first?
Yes. The practice round shows how letters drop out of play before you start today’s words.
