About this puzzle
CrackMyWord gives every player the same 5-letter word on the same day. The word is selected deterministically from the calendar date, so it's identical for everyone around the world. You had 6 tries to crack it. The tile colors after each guess showed you how close you were: green for a correct letter in the right spot, yellow for a correct letter in the wrong spot, and gray for a letter that isn't in the word at all.
