Features & Capabilities

One secret word a day, found by meaning. The closer you get, the hotter it burns!
Free, no ads, no account, works offline. In 7 languages, with up to 5 hints per word.

Type any word and Red Hot tells you its temperature: freezing if it has nothing to do with the secret, burning hot if it's right there. Word after word, you follow the trail, just like the hot and cold game.

UP TO 5 HINTS PER WORD
• Stuck? Ask for a hint: it adds a word closer to the secret.
• Each hint is hotter than the one before.
• A hint never counts as a guess.

7 LANGUAGES
• Play in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian or Dutch.
• One secret word per language each day, with separate stats and streaks for each language.
• The whole app is translated into all 7 languages.

HOW IT WORKS
• Each word gets a temperature based on how close its meaning is to the secret word.
• Among the 1,000 closest words, it also gets a rank: 1,000 is warm, 1 is burning hot.
• Your guesses are sorted from hottest to coldest.
• A word that isn't in the dictionary doesn't count as a guess.

A FLAME IN THE NIGHT
• A dark night, a match, and a flame that comes alive as you get warmer.
• At midnight, a new match is lit.

A NEW WORD EVERY DAY
• The same secret word for everyone, new every day at midnight Paris time (early evening on the East Coast).
• Still stuck? Give up to reveal the word, then come back tomorrow.
• Share your result without spoilers: colors and a number of guesses, never the word.
• Your stats: games won, current streak, best streak, average guesses.

YOUR GAME ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
• Two home screen widgets: today's game at a glance, updated after every guess.
• A daily reminder at 9 am, if you turn it on.

NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription.
• No account: your games stay on your device.
• Only anonymous usage stats (PostHog, hosted in Europe) count games to improve Red Hot, without ever seeing your words.
• Everything works offline: on the subway, on a plane, anywhere.

Five minutes over coffee or a long hunt at night: your move.
