How to play

Guess the 7-letter word in 5 tries. After each guess, every letter gets a hint:

E↑

HI ↑ - go higher<br>The target letter comes after E in the alphabet.

N↓

LO ↓ - go lower<br>The target letter comes before N in the alphabet.

P✓

SOLVE ✓ - exact match<br>This letter is locked in at this position.

Below each guess, a range bar (like F–Z) shows the letters still possible at that position. Narrow it down until you solve all seven.

Let's play

hilo

Hi · Lo · Solve

Hilo is about discovering new words .

Hilo is a daily word puzzle that blends vocabulary with alphabetical reasoning. Each day, everyone gets the same 7-letter word to crack, using hi/lo clues to narrow down each letter.

Unlike most word games, Hilo isn't about knowing obscure words. It's about logic and deduction - watching the letter ranges shrink with every guess until the answer clicks into place.

Play solo, track your streak, or start a private group with friends and compete on today's puzzle.
