Pounce
Pounce is a five-letter word-guessing game. Each guess colors its tiles to show which letters are in the word and which are in the right spot — you get six tries. Everyone gets the same daily word, which changes at midnight US Central, and unlimited mode deals a fresh word whenever you want one. It runs entirely in your browser from a single HTML file, word list included.
