Every answer is drawn from Harry Potter: characters like SNAPE, DRACO and DOBBY, spells and artefacts like WANDS, CLOAK and LUMOS, magical creatures like TROLL, GHOUL and PIXIE, and places around Hogwarts like TOWER, ALLEY and VAULT.

Why this Harry Potter word game works
Regular Wordle uses ordinary English words. Here the vocabulary is the fun: every solved puzzle is a small trip back to Hogwarts, Diagon Alley or the Forbidden Forest. If you know your Marauders from your Death Eaters, you already have an edge.
Themed packs narrow the answer pool when you want a tighter challenge: "Witches & Wizards" for the people, "Spells & Artefacts" for the magic, "Beasts & Magic" for the creatures and lore, and "Around Hogwarts" for the places.
New here? Every rule — colors, scoring, hard mode, and how Daily/Endless/Themed Packs differ — is on one page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of words are the answers?
Every answer is a 5-letter word tied to the Wizarding World — character names, spells and magical objects, creatures, and Hogwarts locations — plus a few on-theme everyday words like MAGIC, WITCH and GHOST.
Is this based on the books or the films?
Both. Names and terms are chosen to be recognisable to readers and film fans alike — there is no book-only or film-only lore gate on any answer.
Does the bank include Fantastic Beasts characters?
No. This bank focuses on the core Harry Potter seven-book story — students, professors, spells, creatures, and Hogwarts itself — rather than the Fantastic Beasts prequel films.

No download, no account — just five letters, six tries, and the whole Wizarding World to draw from.
