How to play Ledger Letters
Type any five letters and press Check. Each tile then tells you one thing. A filled green tile means the letter is in the right spot. A blue tile with a dashed border and a dot means the letter is in the word but in a different spot. A grey tile means the letter is not in the word. The on-screen keyboard keeps the same marks, so you can see what is left to try.
You have six guesses. The daily word pays 80 XP if you find it on the first guess and 10 XP less for each guess after that. The hint shows the meaning of the word and costs 10 XP. When you have finished the daily word, Play again gives you a practice word worth 10 XP.
Why a word game on a business site
Every answer in Ledger Letters is a working business term: something you would find on a balance sheet, in a contract or in a sales report. When the round ends you get the meaning in one sentence and a link to the department that uses it. Five minutes a day adds up to a wider vocabulary.
The answer list is written by Kurums and covers nine departments. Around a quarter of the words come from finance and another quarter from accounting. The rest are spread across procurement, law, HR, marketing, startups, sales and technology.
How to find the word in fewer guesses
- Open with common letters. A first guess with two or three vowels and letters such as R, S and T rules out the most options.
- Use what the board tells you. A letter in the wrong spot must appear somewhere else. Move it. A grey letter can be dropped from every later guess.
- Watch for plurals. Several business words end in S: think of what a company pays, owes or sells.
- Think by department. If the letters suggest money, try a finance or accounting term before a general word.
- Take the hint when it helps. Ten XP is a small price for learning a term you did not know.
Keep the words you learn
Seeing a term once in a game is a start. To keep it, read how it is used. The finance guides and accounting guides explain most of the words in the answer list, and the free business tools let you put the numbers behind them to work.
Come back tomorrow for a new word. Everyone gets the same daily word, so you can compare results with a colleague without giving the answer away.
