Your card shows a status board with your guess rows, your score and streak and the days to launch, never the word or a letter.
Put the letters in the right order; the ones in the right place lock green. A new word every day at midnight UTC, with a streak, stats and a spoiler-free emoji grid to share. A fan word game about launch-night vocabulary; it is not a status signal.
How to play
Every day there is one five-letter word from the vocabulary of launch night: the things you read on a status page, in a patch note or in an error message, such as a queue, a cache or a token. Its five letters are shown scrambled. Type them in the order you think spells the word, using the keys under the grid or your own keyboard (only today's letters work, each as often as it appears), and press Enter. Letters in the right place flip green and lock in; the others stay dark. You have six guesses. Hard mode, a switch remembered on this device, makes you keep every green letter in place in all later guesses and adds a star to your result.
When you solve the word, or after the sixth guess, the word is shown with a one-line meaning in the server or launch sense, written in plain English for this site. Everyone gets the same word, scrambled the same way, on the same UTC day, and the result you share is the grid of green and dark squares with your score, never the word. The archive lets you play any earlier day's word, and practice words come from a spare pool; both are marked as such and never count.
Why the letters are given: Leonidle, the guess-the-word daily on our sister fan site VICEMAP, already asks which word, so Status Word asks a different question: not which word, but which order. Every answer is a real English word checked against an open word list, with no trademarks and nothing from leaks. This is a fan word game and not a status signal; for whether anything is actually down, use the live status page, and for more launch-night puzzles try Packet Pipes or Ping Hunt.
Questions
How do I play?
The five letters of today's word are shown scrambled. Type them in the order you think spells the word, with the on-screen keys or your own keyboard, and press Enter. Letters in the right place flip green and lock; the others stay dark. You have six guesses to find the word.
Why is this not a guess-the-word game?
VICEMAP, our sister fan site, already runs one (Leonidle). Status Word gives you the letters and asks for the order, so every guess is a deduction about positions rather than a hunt for the word. Every answer is a real English word from the vocabulary of servers, networks and launch nights.
What is hard mode?
A switch, remembered on this device, that makes you keep every green letter where it is in all later guesses. The result carries a star when hard mode was on.
What happens at the end?
When you solve it, or after six guesses, the word is shown with a one-line plain-English meaning in the server or launch sense, written for this site. The result you share is the grid of green and dark squares and your score, never the word.
What are archive and practice words?
The archive lets you play any earlier day's word; practice words come from a spare pool. Both are clearly marked and never count for your streak, stats or the daily result.
Is this a real status signal?
No. It is a fan word game about the vocabulary of launch night. For whether anything is actually down, use the live status page; nothing here reads or affects it.
