Love the daily ritual of Wordle? Viisi keeps it—one new puzzle every day—but asks for five words instead of one, with no ads and no account on iPhone.
Both are daily five-letter word games. Here's where they differ.
| Feature | Viisi | Wordle |
|---|---|---|
| What you solve | Five different words from one shared set of five letters | One hidden five-letter word in six guesses |
| New puzzles | One every day, the same board for every player | One every day, the same word for every player |
| Archive | Every past puzzle, playable any time | Included with an NYT Games subscription |
| Challenge | Classic mode with hints, or Expert Mode with no hints and three strikes | Hard Mode |
| Ads & data | No ads on iPhone, no account needed, and we don't collect or sell your data | Run by The New York Times; its advertising and data practices apply |
| Cost | Free to download | The daily puzzle is free |
| Progress | Points, streaks, badges, and Game Center leaderboards | Streaks and win statistics |
| Where to play | iPhone and a free web demo | Web and the NYT Games app |

Same daily habit, a different puzzle.
Wordle asks you to find one hidden word. Viisi gives you five letters and asks for five different words from them, so you're thinking in anagrams rather than letter positions.
Want it tougher? Expert Mode turns hints off and ends the game after three invalid submissions.
You get one new puzzle a day, plus an archive of every past puzzle. A missed day or a favorite puzzle is always one tap away.
Replays start from a clean board and never change your original score, time, or stats.
On iPhone, Viisi has no ads and no account to create. We don't collect or sell your data, and the game works offline.
Finding five words from one set of letters introduces words you might not know. After a win, tap any word to see its definition.
Five letters, five words, one new puzzle every day.
No. Both are daily five-letter word games, but in Viisi you find five different words from one shared set of letters instead of guessing a single hidden word.
Viisi is free to download, and there are no ads.
No. Viisi works without an account and also works offline.
In Classic mode, hints unlock after you've found three words. You get two per puzzle, they subtract 10 points each. Expert Mode turns hints off.
