Speed Word - free Wordle alternative with leaderboards

Love Wordle? Try Speed Word — the same daily word-guessing challenge, plus timed competition and global leaderboards. Free forever.

Why Speed Word Is the Best Wordle Alternative

Wordle changed the way millions of people start their mornings — a single daily word puzzle, shared by everyone, solved in just a few minutes. Speed Word keeps everything you love about that experience and adds a layer that Wordle doesn't have: real competition.

In Speed Word, you guess a 5-letter word using the same green, yellow, and gray clue system. But your solve time is tracked from the moment you start. When you finish, you see exactly where you rank on the global leaderboard — and you can challenge friends to beat your time. It transforms a solo ritual into a daily race.

Unlike some Wordle alternatives that lock archives behind a paywall, Speed Word is completely free. No subscription, no ads, no account required to play. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight, playable on the web, iOS, and Android. If you've been looking for a Wordle alternative that adds something genuinely new without taking anything away, Speed Word is it.
