Mevabi – Daily Word Puzzle

Mevabi – Daily Word Puzzle lets you create interactive word puzzle games, word guessing games, and customizable letter-based challenges directly in WordPress.

Create your own puzzles using the words you choose and embed them anywhere on your website. The game is inspired by the popular daily word puzzle format, where players try to discover a hidden word using a limited number of attempts.

Use it for daily word games, vocabulary activities, educational games, classroom activities, language learning, entertainment websites, blogs, and interactive WordPress content.

You control the word used in each puzzle, making the plugin suitable for creating your own custom word challenges instead of relying on a predefined word list.

Create your own word puzzles

Choose a word and turn it into an interactive guessing game. Players enter letters and receive visual feedback after each attempt:

• 🟩 Correct — the letter is in the correct position.
• 🟨 Present — the letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
• ⬛ Absent — the letter is not in the word.

The simple gameplay makes the plugin suitable for both casual visitors and educational activities.

Multiple difficulty levels

Create puzzles with different words and difficulty levels by choosing the words you want players to discover.

Use easier words for beginners and more challenging vocabulary for advanced players. You can create separate puzzles for different groups, topics, lessons, or audiences.

Custom Word Games for WordPress

Shortcode

Create a puzzle using the shortcode:

The 1 attribute defines the hidden word, while correct, present, and absent let you customize the colors used for the game tiles.
