Quinque is a daily word puzzle built around German: every day there is exactly one new five-letter German word to guess — in six tries at most. After each guess the tile colours reveal which letters are right and which are still missing, until you land on the solution.

The word of the day is the same for everyone, so you can compare how you did with others. Quinque runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, keeps track of your streak and needs no account — just open it and start guessing.

Why no subscription? A quick daily puzzle shouldn’t be trying to sell you anything. Quinque is free, shows no ads and collects no data about you — no in-app purchases, no tracking, no monthly fee for a game that only asks one word a day. An app by Kindler Dev.
