Common questions

What is The Good Word Game?
A daily Bible word game. Each day you get five KJV verses, each with one word missing. Type the missing word — no multiple choice, no hints. Your score is how many you get right out of five.
How do I play?
Tap "Play today's daily" to start. You'll see a verse with a blank. Type the word you think belongs there and submit. You get one chance per verse, five verses per game. No going back.
What Bible translation do you use?
Every verse comes from the King James Version (KJV). Spelling and punctuation follow the KJV text exactly — close enough doesn't count.
How is the daily puzzle chosen?
Each day's five verses are selected automatically. The difficulty builds across the five rounds — the first verse is approachable, the last one will test you. Everyone gets the same five verses on the same day.
Can I replay a puzzle I missed?
The daily puzzle can only be played once. If you miss a day, it's gone. That's the point — show up daily, or miss out. Good Word Plus members can play extra practice rounds anytime.
What do the colors mean in my score?
Green means you got it right. Red means you didn't. When you share your results, your friends see a row of colored squares — green and red — without seeing the actual answers.
Is there a hint system?
No hints on the daily puzzle. You either know the word or you don't. That's what makes it matter. Good Word Plus includes a hint feature for practice rounds.
How does the streak work?
Play the daily every day to build your streak. Miss a day and it resets to zero. Your streak tracks consecutive days played, not consecutive perfect scores — just showing up counts.
Can I share my results?
Yes. After you finish, tap the share button to send your score to friends. It shares your colored-square scorecard and score — not the answers — so they can play without spoilers.
What is Good Word Plus?
Good Word Plus is an optional upgrade that unlocks practice rounds, hints, and deeper study features. The daily puzzle is always free. Plus is for players who want to go deeper. Learn more →
