Guess by meaning, hot or cold
Free
A new secret word every day, found by meaning. Stuck? Up to 5 hints per word. Play in 7 languages. Free, no ads, works offline.
One secret word a day, found by meaning. The closer you get, the hotter it burns!
Free, no ads, no account, works offline. Now in 7 languages, with up to 5 hints per word.
Type any word and Red Hot tells you its temperature: freezing if it has nothing to do with the secret, burning hot if it's right there. Word after word, you follow the trail, just like the hot and cold game.
NEW: UP TO 5 HINTS PER WORD
• Stuck? Ask for a hint: it adds a word closer to the secret.
• Each hint is hotter than the one before.
• A hint never counts as a guess.
NEW: 7 LANGUAGES
• Play in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian or Dutch.
• One secret word per language each day, with separate stats and streaks for each language.
• The whole app is translated into all 7 languages.
HOW IT WORKS
• Each word gets a temperature based on how close its meaning is to the secret word.
• Among the 1,000 closest words, it also gets a rank: 1,000 is warm, 1 is burning hot.
• Your guesses are sorted from hottest to coldest.
• A word that isn't in the dictionary doesn't count as a guess.
A FLAME IN THE NIGHT
• A brand new look: a dark night, a match, and a flame that comes alive as you get warmer.
• At midnight, a new match is lit.
A NEW WORD EVERY DAY
• The same secret word for everyone, new every day at midnight Paris time (early evening on the East Coast).
• Still stuck? Give up to reveal the word, then come back tomorrow.
• Share your result without spoilers: colors and a number of guesses, never the word.
• Your stats: games won, current streak, best streak, average guesses.
YOUR GAME ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
• Widgets for iPhone, iPad and Mac: today's game at a glance.
• On Mac, play from the menu bar without opening a window.
NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT, NO DATA
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription.
• No data collected: your games stay on your device.
• Everything works offline: on the subway, on a plane, anywhere.
Five minutes over coffee or a long hunt at night: your move.

Improved word closeness in every language. A plural word now counts as its singular.
