Polygonle
Before you type a single letter, Polygonle already tells you something. Each shape stands for a letter, so two triangles that look the same must hold the same letter.
How Polygonle works
Study the shapes. Each symbol is one letter of the answer. Repeated shapes are repeated letters.
Guess any word. Any real word of the right length counts, even one that does not fit the shapes.
Check the letter colors. Colors show letters in the right place, letters in the word but somewhere else, and letters not in the word.
Find it in six. Use the shapes and colors together to land the word.
Reading a shape pattern
Say the row shows six shapes, the first matches the fourth, and the second matches the last. People fits that pattern, while most six letter words are ruled out before you guess. Treat the pattern as a free first clue and pick a guess that fits it.
Tools on the board
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cursor | Lets you fill single squares and move with arrows or space |
| Shift fill | Puts a letter in every square of the same shape |
| Multi cursor | A setting that does the same without holding shift |
| Ideas icon | Suggests words when you are stuck |
Before you type
- Count the letters
- Note which shapes repeat
- Think of words with that repeat pattern
Common Polygonle questions
What do the shapes mean?
Each shape stands for one letter. Two squares with the same shape always hold the same letter.
Can I guess a word that breaks the shape pattern?
Yes. The game lets you guess any word of the correct length.
Is there help if I get stuck?
There is an icon in the keyboard that gives word ideas, and the site has a page of solving tips.
Where is the Polygonle hint?
In the keyboard. An icon there offers word ideas when you are stuck.
Polygonle strategy
- Count the shapes first. A word with one shape used three times narrows the list a lot.
- Click a tile to move the cursor and test a letter in place without filling the whole row.
- Hold shift while you fill a square to put that letter in every square with the same shape.
- Count the repeated shapes first. They narrow the word before your first guess.
