Lexicon is a fast, free word game you can play in your browser with no account and no download. Every round hands you two letters — a start and an end — and you race to type a real word that connects them. Play head to head with a friend, in a group of up to eight, or on your own against the clock.
Full rules, scoring, and answers to common questions are on the how to play page.
Daily Challenge — one new daily word puzzle for everyone, one attempt per day, with a global top-ten leaderboard. It resets every 24 hours. Past puzzles live in the daily archive, and there are hints for every past date.
Practice Mode — endless letter pairs and three lives. No opponent, no timer pressure from anyone but yourself. The best way to warm up before a match.
Rumble — start a game and share the invite link with 1 to 8 friends. Everyone plays the same letter pairs in real time, which is what makes it one of the few word games you can actually play with friends rather than compare scores afterwards.
If you like a daily word game but want something you can play against other people, Lexicon fills that gap. Wordle gives you one hidden word and six quiet guesses. Lexicon gives you a letter pair and an opponent typing at the same time as you. It has the same once-a-day ritual in the Daily Challenge, plus multiplayer rounds that finish in seconds — closer in feel to Boggle than to a crossword.
It isn't the only one worth playing, though — here are eight other Wordle alternatives, and what each one does differently.
Lexicon is on the App Store. The iOS app keeps your streak, tracks your XP and level, and adds push notifications for the daily challenge and match invites. Your web progress carries over with a link code from the settings menu.
