In short

Vicino, Word Puzzle is a word game where players guess a hidden target word and see how close each guess is in meaning, shown as a numeric rank. It suits people who enjoy lateral thinking, and it offers daily, endless, archive and multiplayer room modes in five languages. One notable feature is the word bridge, which traces a path of neighbouring words from the first guess to the answer once solved.

About

Vicino is a word puzzle for people who like to think sideways. You don't know the target word — but after every guess, Vicino shows you how close you are in meaning. Rank 1 is the word you're after; everything else is a map of nearby meaning, from car and street to lighthouse and coast.

HOW IT WORKS Type any word. Vicino shows its rank — how close it is to the target word in meaning. A low rank means hot, a high rank means still far off. Colour helps too, but it's never the only signal — the rank always shows as a number as well.

GAME MODES • Daily puzzle: one new word a day, the same for everyone. See how you compare on the worldwide leaderboard. • Endless: as many puzzles as you like, any time, no internet connection needed. • Archive: catch up on daily puzzles you missed, any time. • Multiplayer rooms: invite 1 to 7 friends with a link and guess the same word together — whoever reaches the best ranks leads live.

HELP WHEN YOU'RE STUCK A hint gives you a word that's closer to the target than your best guess so far. Once you solve it, the word bridge shows a path of neighbouring words from your first guess to the target — to retrace and to share.

FIVE LANGUAGES Choose your puzzle language independently of your device language: German, English, French, Spanish or Italian. Each language has its own vocabulary and its own puzzles.

STATS & SHARING Track your streak, your solve rate and your guess count. Share your result as a short text with an emoji bar, without giving away the answer.
