Take your word puzzles to the next level. This add-on extends Mevabi – Daily Word Puzzle with longer words, multi-level games, a countdown timer and lives, without replacing or modifying the original plugin.
Main features
- Words of any length: go beyond 5 letters, up to 15 by default. The board adapts automatically to each word’s length, on desktop and mobile.
- Multiple levels: add several words in a single shortcode, separated by semicolons. Each word becomes its own level, with a level indicator (“Level 2 / 5”) and automatic progression.
- Countdown timer: set a maximum time for the whole game, in seconds (
240) or as4:00. The remaining time is displayed while playing and the game ends when it reaches zero. - Lives system: define how many lives players start with. Each time they fail to guess a word in all 6 attempts, they lose a life and must retry that level. When lives run out, the game is over.
- Start and end screens: a “Start” screen so the timer doesn’t run before the player is ready, and a summary screen showing time, lives left and levels completed, with a one-click “Play again”.
- Backwards compatible: existing shortcodes (one word of up to 5 letters, no time, no lives) keep working exactly as before. Deactivate the add-on at any time and the original plugin takes over again.
- Shortcode generator: a new “Extended Generator” page under the Daily Word Puzzle menu builds your shortcode live as you type, with color pickers and a copy button.
- Gutenberg block: a new “Mevabi Word Puzzle – Extended” block with words, time, lives and color settings.
- Keyboard-friendly: works with the physical keyboard and the on-screen keyboard, including the Ñ key. Accents are removed from words automatically.
- Customizable colors: the same correct, present and absent tile colors as the original plugin, plus dark mode support.
Example shortcode
