About Proximath™
About Proximath™
Proximath™ is a free daily word game where every letter has a distance. Built on the idea that knowing how wrong you are is more useful than just knowing that you are wrong, Proximath gives players precise directional feedback on every guess. The alphabet runs from A to Z — A=1, B=2, all the way to Z=26. Every tile tells you exactly how many steps away your letter is from the correct one, and which direction to go.
How Proximath is Different
Most daily word games tell you three things: correct position, wrong position, or not in the word. Proximath tells you something more precise — exactly how far away each letter is in the alphabet, and which direction to adjust. A red tile with a down arrow means your letter is eleven or more steps too high in the alphabet. A blue tile with an up arrow means you are just one step too low. This turns every guess into a navigation exercise, not just a process of elimination.
Three Daily Challenges
Proximath offers three daily word challenges, each resetting at a different time and increasing in difficulty. Morning Mode is the standard five-letter game with full directional arrows, resetting at midnight UK time. Midday Mode uses six letters and removes the arrow from blue tiles — you know you are one step away but not which direction. Evening Mode uses seven letters and removes all arrows from every tile — colours only. Complete all three in a day to earn a bonus five points on the monthly leaderboard.
The Monthly Leaderboard
Every month Proximath runs a free competition. Players earn points for solving daily words — the fewer guesses used, the more points earned. The top player at the end of the month wins a £10 Amazon gift card. The leaderboard resets on the first of every month, giving every player a fresh start.
