Wordee

Guess the hidden word in six tries.

One hidden word and a room full of opinions about vowels. Project it as your morning starter and watch the arguments get surprisingly rigorous.

How to play

Guess the hidden word in six tries.

That's the goal — no rules to teach. Here's how a round of Wordee runs.

1

Type a word and submit your guess.

Type any real word as your opening guess — the class can vote on it first. Submit, and the tiles flip to score it letter by letter.

2

Green = right spot, yellow = wrong spot.

Green means right letter, right spot; yellow means it’s in the word but somewhere else; grey rules it out. The on-screen keyboard keeps every colour, so nothing’s forgotten.

Use the clues to crack it within six goes.

Six guesses, plus one AI clue to lean on when the room gets stuck. Each guess narrows the field until the last row lands all-green.

Ways to play

One hidden word, three ways to crack it

The same Wordee works as a front-of-class solve, a live device race, or take-home practice. Pick at press-play — nothing to rebuild.

On the big screen

Project one board and the whole class cracks it together — students call out guesses (and argue about vowels) while you type. No devices, no setup, no codes.

Zero devices · zero prep

Live on their devices

Students go to boardee.app/join and type the six-digit code — phones, tablets, chromebooks, any browser. Everyone races the same hidden word, and the leaderboard ranks who cracks it in the fewest guesses.

The library

Wordee is one shape of twenty-five

The Arcade is a library of classroom games that all drink from the same topic box. Once the word's been cracked, the identical list becomes a crossword, a word search or a set of flashcards — same topic, new game, zero re-typing.

  • 25 game types, from quiz shows to word puzzles
  • One topic box fills any of them in under a minute
  • Save your rounds and relaunch them any lesson

AI fills it. You press play.

Every Arcade game starts from the same box: type what you're teaching and the content writes itself — questions, words, clues — ready for the board at the front of the room.

  • Real content on your topic and grade — skim, edit or reroll before the class sees it
  • Big type and chunky buttons, readable from the back row
  • Students join with a code and a name — no accounts, ever

FAQ

Good to know

Is this like Wordle?

It plays exactly the way your students expect — six guesses, green and yellow tiles — but the hidden word is yours: any topic, any grade level.

Is it solo or whole-class?

Both work. It's built as a solo puzzle, so each student can play self-paced from a shared link — or project one board and solve it together, guess by guess.

Can AI pick words on my topic?

Yes. Ask for words from your unit and grade level and it fills the list in under a minute, or type your own — this week's spelling words are a favorite.

Is it free?

Yes. Every game type is included on Boardee's free tier, Wordee included.

Do students need accounts?

Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.

Same box, different shape
