What is the Septle game?
Septle is a word game like Wordle, but with seven letters instead of five. The name comes from “sept”, the Latin root for seven, as in September. Longer words mean more letters to place, so the Septle word game rewards patience and a good start.
This page is a free Septle-style game you can play online in any browser. The Septle daily word game changes at midnight Toronto time, so everyone plays the same word today. The six-letter bonus adds a second daily puzzle, and Practice mode gives you unlimited words.
Answers are everyday words you would see in a book or newspaper, not plurals or words ending in a suffix like -ING or -ED. Your streak, win rate and guess distribution are saved in your browser.

Septle hints and answers today
Look for word endings
Many seven-letter words end in -ION, -ENT or -ATE. Test those letters early.
Mind double letters
Words like BALLOON and ACCOUNT repeat letters. A yellow can appear twice.
Don’t reuse grey letters
The keyboard turns letters grey once they’re out. Skip them on later guesses.
Think in chunks
Pairs like CH, TH, ST and QU often sit together, so try them as a block.
Answer after the game
When you finish or run out of guesses, the Septle answer today is shown right away.
No solver needed

Septle vs Wordle and other word games
Wordle uses five letters and six guesses. Septle uses seven letters and eight guesses, and its bonus uses six letters and seven guesses. If you like longer words, Septle is a great daily challenge, because seven letters leave far more room for clever guesses and surprising answers than five ever could. For a five-letter game with Canadian answers, play Canuckle, or try Sedecordle to guess 16 words at once.
