Sedecordle Savior mode
Savior mode starts with four guesses already played for you. They are ordinary words, not answers, so they give clues without solving anything. You have the 17 guesses that are left to save all sixteen boards.
Read the colors from the first four rows before you type: often a few boards are already down to one or two possible words.
Frequently asked questions
What is Sedecordle Savior mode?
Savior starts with four guesses already played for you. They are ordinary words, not answers, chosen so that they give clues without solving any board. You use the remaining 17 guesses to save all sixteen boards, which makes the opening easier but leaves much less room for mistakes later on.
Can the four starting words be answers?
No. The four ready-made words are never answers to any board in that puzzle and never repeat a letter, so they only give clues. Read their colors carefully before you type: after those four rows, a few boards are often down to one or two possible words already.
How many guesses do I have in Savior?
Savior has 21 guesses in total, and the four ready-made guesses count toward them. That leaves you 17 guesses of your own to solve all sixteen boards, so you can afford only one wasted guess. Solving the easy boards early matters even more in this mode than in the classic game.
Is there a daily Savior puzzle?
Yes. Savior has its own daily puzzle, with its own sixteen words and four starting words, and it resets at midnight in your time zone. Press Practice above the boards for unlimited Savior games, and check the answers page if you need hints for the daily one.
Is Savior easier than the classic game?
The start is easier, because four rows of clues are already on every board. The finish is harder, because you only have one spare guess instead of five. Players who plan carefully often finish Savior faster, while players who guess freely tend to run out of guesses near the end.
