How It Works

Three steps to find the secret word. No letters, no hints — only meaning.

Propose a Word

Type or say any word. There are no wrong answers — every word gives you information.

Read the Score

Get a temperature from 0 (icy) to 1000 (found!). The closer the meaning, the higher the temperature rises.

Refine and Find

Use the scores to navigate the semantic space. Build a mental map of meanings and zero in on the target.

Icy (0-200)
Cold (200-500)
Warm (500-700)
Hot (700-900)
Scorching (900+)
Found! (1000)

Looking for a Semantle alternative in Italian?

Fuochino is everything Semantle does — rebuilt for daily play in Italian, with more modes and a real mobile app.

Semantle invented the semantic word game genre — guess the hidden word by its meaning, not its letters, using a word2vec model that scores each guess from 0 to 1000. It was a revelation for anyone looking for something beyond Wordle.

Fuochino brings the same mechanic — semantic guessing with a temperature score — entirely in Italian and builds on it: voice input, daily streaks, live leaderboards, five distinct game modes and a native Android app that works offline.

If you love Semantle-style games and want something that runs beautifully on mobile and in Italian, Fuochino is the answer. Same depth, better experience.

Same scoring model

Word embeddings — temperature from 0 to 1000. If you know Semantle, the mechanic will feel familiar right away.

Daily + unlimited practice

One word a day at noon plus Training Mode for unlimited sessions — no waiting 24 hours.

Wordle + Semantle in one

Already play Wordle every day? Fuochino is the semantic companion — another daily puzzle, zero wasted time.

Mobile-first, offline-ready

Native Android app with voice input. Semantle only runs in the browser; Fuochino runs anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fuochino?

Fuochino is a free daily semantic word game. Instead of guessing letters like in Wordle, you propose words and get a temperature score (0-1000) based on how close the meaning of your word is to the secret word. The closer the meaning, the higher the score.

How is Fuochino different from Wordle?

Wordle is played on letters and their position. Fuochino is played on meaning: what matters is not how a word is spelled, but how semantically close it is to the secret word. It's a completely different play experience, built on reasoning and vocabulary.

Is Fuochino free?

Yes, completely free on the web and on Android. No account is needed. The Android app includes optional rewarded ads to get hints — you choose whether and when to watch them.

What is the temperature score?

The temperature runs from 0 (icy, semantically far) to 1000 (exact match). The system uses word embeddings — a mathematical model that maps words by meaning — to measure how close your guess is to the target word.

What language is Fuochino in?

Fuochino is played entirely in Italian. Both the secret words and the words you propose are in Italian, and the temperature score relies on an Italian semantic model. Looking for the French version? Try QuelMot, our French semantic word game.

How often does the word change?

A new secret word is revealed every day at noon. You can also play in Training Mode whenever you like, with unlimited random words to practice.
