Horizon Words is a fresh take on daily word puzzles. Instead of simple right-or-wrong feedback, every guess tells you how close each letter is to the target — using circular distance on the alphabet.
HOW IT WORKS
Each day brings a new 5-letter word. You have 12 hours (guesses) to find it. Spin the letter wheels, lock in your guess, and watch the feedback:
- Correct (gold) — exact match
- Hot (red) — 1-2 letters away
- Warm (orange) — 3-4 letters away
- Cool (blue) — 5-7 letters away
- Cold (navy) — 8+ letters away
The alphabet wraps around — Z is just 1 step from A.
HARD MODE
Beat the daily puzzle? Unlock a second one. 10 hours. Every guess must be a real English word. Use Burn Daylight to eliminate wrong letters — but it costs you an hour. Can you handle the Last Stand?
