How to play Akshar Jod – Daily Hindi & Punjabi Word Game
Every day there is one new word in Hindi and one in Punjabi (Gurmukhi), the same for everyone, changing at midnight on your device. You get an English clue, such as “kite” or “festival of lights”, and a set of shuffled letter tiles called aksharas. Two of the tiles are decoys that do not belong in the word.
Tap the tiles in order to fill the boxes, then press Check. A green box means the right tile in the right place, yellow means the tile is in the word but in another position, and grey means it is a decoy. You have four tries. The Hint button shows the first tile but is marked on your share card.
Worked example: the clue is “kite” and the tiles are प, ग, क, तं, हा. Trying तं-प-ग gives yellow, yellow, green. Swapping the first two gives प-तं-ग, which is पतंग, solved in 2 tries.
Solving keeps your daily streak going (saved only on your device). Share your result as a spoiler-free emoji grid on WhatsApp so friends and family can play the same word. The words are everyday vocabulary, which makes the game good practice for children and new learners. Want to type in Hindi or Punjabi? Try the Hindi & Punjabi keyboard.
