Horizon Words
Daily 5-Letter Word Puzzle
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A new kind of daily word game. Spin the wheels, narrow down the alphabet, and watch the sun rise as you solve.
10 themes.
No ads.
Horizon Words is a daily 5-letter word game with a twist!
You spin five scroll wheels to dial in each letter. Every guess tells you how close you are, and the wheels narrow down until the answer clicks into place.
How It Works
You start with 12 hours of daylight and five wheels, each showing the full alphabet. Pick a letter for each position and submit your guess. Every wrong letter costs one hour — but it also tells you how far off you are, eliminating potential letters and narrowing you to the correct word!
Above each wheel, a sun indicator rises as you get closer — from a faint glow to full sunrise when you nail it.
Solve the puzzle before darkness falls.
Hard Mode
Beat the daily puzzle and unlock Hard Mode — a different word, fewer hours, and every guess must be a real English word.
Built for players who want a real challenge.
