Rules, practice games and common questions

What is Dabbl?

Dabbl is a free daily word game. Guess a five-letter word in six tries, using coloured clues after each guess. Play in your phone or desktop browser.

Do I need to download an app or create an account?

No. Open dabbl.net and start playing. Guest progress stays in this browser. Optional sign-in syncs your statistics and token balance between devices; the current board is saved on this device.

When does the daily word change?

A new daily word arrives at midnight in your local time zone. Players on the same calendar date get the same daily puzzle. An open game keeps its original date so midnight does not change it halfway through.

Can I play more than one word a day?

Yes. Practice games cost one earned token. New players start with three tokens, and wins earn more. The daily puzzle is always free.

How do repeated letters work?

Each occurrence in the answer can colour only one tile. Correct positions turn green first, then remaining matching letters turn yellow. An extra copy turns grey if no matching occurrence remains.

Can I challenge friends without spoiling the answer?

Yes. Share your coloured score grid or tap Challenge a friend after finishing to send the same word. Results include your guess count and any hints used, without displaying the answer.

Is Dabbl a Wordle alternative?

Dabbl is an independent game in the familiar five-letter, six-guess format, with earned tokens, practice games, hints and friend challenges. It is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times.
