How to play Leafsle

Leafsle is a free daily word game for Toronto hockey fans. Guess the hidden five-letter hockey word in six tries, using color clues to close in, and solve today's puzzle to grow your daily streak.

How to play

  1. Make your first guess

    Type any valid five-letter word and press Enter to submit your opening guess.

  2. Read the color clues

    Green means the letter is correct and in the right spot. Yellow means it is in the word but the wrong spot. Gray means it is not in the word.

  3. Narrow it down

    Use each clue to rule letters in or out. Every guess should test new letters or confirm the positions you already know.

  4. Solve in six tries

    You have six guesses to find the daily Leafs word. The on-screen keyboard colors track which letters you have already tried.

  5. Grow your streak

    Solve the puzzle to extend your streak. A new Leafs word unlocks every day at midnight UTC.

Tips

  • Open with a word rich in common vowels to reveal the most letters at once.
  • Lock in your green letters, then rearrange any yellows into new positions on the next guess.
  • The answer is themed around Toronto hockey, so think players, teams, and hockey history.
  • Play every day to protect your streak; a single missed day resets it.
