Kalakka — Daily Word Puzzle Game

Kalakka is a free daily word puzzle in the spirit of Wordle, but instead of guessing a hidden word you unscramble the name of a famous person. Every day a new puzzle is published — the same one for every player — drawn from categories like Sports, Music, Science, History, and Film. Play it right in your browser, with no download and no sign-up required.

How to play

The day's puzzle shows the letters of a famous name, scrambled and split across first, middle, and last name rows. Drag the tiles into the right order to spell the name. Stuck? Tap the hint bird for up to five clues — a profession, an era, a notable achievement — each one bringing you closer. Solve it in as few hints, tile swaps, and seconds as you can, then compare your run against the best player of the day.

A new puzzle every day

A fresh personality is published at midnight Costa Rica time. Create a free account to track your streak, hint usage, and solve times across every puzzle, or play anonymously — your progress is saved on your device either way. Missed a day? Browse the full puzzle archive and play any past puzzle you like.

How is it different from Wordle?

Wordle asks you to guess a five-letter word in six tries. Kalakka asks you to unscramble a real person's name, and instead of guesses it gives you hints. Same satisfying once-a-day rhythm, a different kind of "aha" — the moment the scrambled letters suddenly resolve into someone you recognize.
