There's a new word every morning at SATs Arcade — free to play, no account needed.

Ages 7–11 — A Daily Word Puzzle That Teaches as They Play

Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries. The colours show how close each guess is — but unlike most word games, this one helps when your child gets stuck: it breaks tricky words into syllables and points out the part that catches people out. A difficulty setting means a Year 3 child and a confident Year 6 reader each get a fair puzzle, so the whole family can play the same day's word.

One word a day builds the habit. The streak is what brings them back tomorrow.
