Online duel
Find an opponent in a quick match or invite a friend with a room code. Race to find the shared word, or set secret words for each other.
Find the hidden word by meaning. Every guess reveals how close your idea is — and every percentage points you in a new direction.
This is an illustrative round. In the app, similarity scores depend on the hidden word and your guesses.
How it works
Select language, mode and difficulty.
Enter any word that comes to mind.
Higher similarity means a closer meaning.
Use synonyms, themes and associations.
Reach the exact hidden word.
New in version 1.2.0
SoloWord 1.2.0 brings online competition and a coin system to your search for the hidden word.
Find an opponent in a quick match or invite a friend with a room code. Race to find the shared word, or set secret words for each other.
Earn coins through wins and the daily challenge. Use them for hints and duel entry, or buy coin packs in the shop. The duel winner receives 90% of the coin pool.
Choose a hint with coins or by watching a rewarded ad. Hints help you move closer to the answer; they remain unavailable in Friend mode.
Ways to play
Choose easy, normal, hard or random difficulty and solve at your own pace.
One shared challenge each day. Compare your route to the answer.
Focus the search through animals, food, nature, objects and more.
When you are stuck, receive a meaningful step forward without revealing the answer.

All guidesA better way to guess
SoloWord compares meanings, not letters. A guess can be close even when it looks nothing like the answer. Here is how to make each attempt useful.
Try a broad idea first, then use the percentage to decide whether to explore that topic or change direction.
Compare your closest words. If a related idea scores higher, try its synonyms, examples and neighboring concepts.
A high score means you are in the right area, but only the exact hidden word wins. Use a hint if available and you get stuck.
Good to know
The rules are simple. The path to the answer is entirely yours.
No. You are not given letters or a definition. You discover the answer by comparing the meaning of your guesses.
You can start a standard round without signing in. Account features are optional.
Classic rounds allow unlimited attempts, so every guess can teach you something useful.
Hints can suggest a closer word after you have made guesses. They are unavailable when you are already very close and in Friend mode.
SoloWord is available for Android on Google Play. The demo on this page shows the idea; the full game is in the app.
