Which word length to play in Termo: 4, 5, 6 or 7 letters?

Termo comes in four word sizes, and each one plays differently. Instead of just saying 4 is “easy” and 7 is “hard”, we looked at the numbers in our lists to see what really changes.
The four sizes in numbers
| Length | Possible answers | Accepted guesses | With a repeated letter | Vowels per word |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 1,517 | 7,188 | 19% | 1.4 |
| 5 | 3,066 | 15,940 | 33% | 1.7 |
| 6 | 3,832 | 29,907 | 50% | 2.2 |
| 7 | 3,600 | 42,032 | 67% | 2.6 |
How to choose
- 4 letters: Quick games and few clues per guess. Great for training short vocabulary and for a two-minute break, but every wrong letter hurts a lot.
- 5 letters: The classic size: a balance of clues and difficulty. It is the best starting point and the easiest to compare with friends.
- 6 letters: More room for common endings and patterns. It asks you to think about vowel positions, but rewards you once you have found the consonants.
- 7 letters: Long words, many with prefixes and suffixes. They give more clues per guess, and the challenge is to spot the root and fill in the rest.
A suggested routine
- Start the day with the 5-letter challenge, which is the one most of your friends play.
- Use 4-letter endless mode to warm up when you are short on time.
- When 5 gets easy, move up to 6 and 7 to train ending patterns.
Each size keeps its own statistics, so you can switch freely without losing your progress.
