Malay Wordle
Malay Wordle is Wordle in Bahasa Melayu. You have six tries to guess a five-letter Malay word, and after each guess the tiles turn green, yellow or grey to show which letters are in the word. There is one new word each day, and the site also calls the game Katapat.
Free in the browser, no account needed.
How to play
You type a five-letter Malay word with the on-screen keyboard or your own keyboard and press Enter. Each letter of your guess then changes colour:
- Green: the letter is in the word and in the right place.
- Yellow: the letter is in the word but in a different place.
- Grey: the letter is not in the word.
The keys on the on-screen keyboard change colour in the same way, so you can see which letters you have already tried. A guess must be a word from the game’s list, and other words get the message “Word not found”. If you haven’t found the word after six guesses, the game shows it. The How to play panel explains the rules in English and in Malay.
A new word every day
A new word starts at midnight in your own time zone, and everyone gets the same word on the same date. The answers come from a fixed list of 308 words, played in order one per day since 1 January 2022, so the list starts again after 308 days. The puzzle for 23 October 2026 is number 1,756.
There is one word a day. The game has no unlimited or practice mode, so after you finish, the next word is ready at midnight. Your guesses are saved in the browser, so you can close the page and come back to the same game later that day.
Statistics and sharing
When a game ends, the Statistics panel opens. It shows how many games you have played, the percentage you solved, your current and best streak of wins in a row, and a chart of how many guesses each win took. It also counts down to the next word. The statistics are kept in your browser, so they are separate on each device.
Share copies your result to the clipboard as the puzzle number, your number of guesses out of six, and a grid of green, yellow and white squares with no letters, so you can post it without giving away the word.
The panel also links to Five Letters on Pearcade, which opens in Malay. There, two players guess the same word at the same time, and the one who needs fewer guesses wins.
The word list
The game uses two lists of five-letter Malay words. The 308 answers are common words such as “tidak”, “orang” and “dalam”. Another 2,389 words are accepted as guesses but are never the answer, so the game accepts 2,696 words in all. The words were taken from a Malay word list on Google Sheets and from the Malay-Dataset collection on GitHub.
