Gem of a Word: Word Puzzle

Every day, eight letters. One is the Gem — the single common word that uses all of them. Find it, and find everything smaller hiding inside it too.

Gem of a Word is a daily word puzzle built for people who actually like words, not just streaks. Spell every common word your letters allow, then keep going: words beyond the everyday list are graded Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic for bonus points, so a good vocabulary keeps paying off long after the easy words run out.

Find the full eight-letter Gem and the app shows you its real definition and etymology — where the word actually comes from, not just that you got it right. Most word games stop at "correct." This one tells you why.

• A new puzzle every day, the same eight letters for everyone playing • Climb a seven-rank ladder from Rough Stone to Flawless Supreme • Rare and Mythic finds outside the day's list still score points • Real definitions and etymology on every Gem you complete • Keep a daily streak, and replay any past puzzle from the archive • Share your result as a spoiler-free score card • No account, no sign-up — open it and play

One puzzle a day. Every word means something.
