What is Wordiply?
Wordiply is a daily word puzzle published by the Guardian. Each day you get a short starter word, such as 'era', and five goes to type the longest word you can think of that contains it. Words like OPERA, ERASABLE and GENERATION would all count for 'era'.
You get two scores at the end. Your length score shows how close your best word came to the longest possible answer, and your letter score adds up all the letters you used across your guesses. The game was dreamed up by David and Daniel Shariatmadari, and the longest words come from Collins dictionary.
