VowelSweep — the vowel Minesweeper.

The Rules

How VowelSweep works

1. Five rows, five real words. Every row is a five-letter English word. Vowels are A, E, I, O, U — Y is a consonant, never a vowel.
2. Tap a hidden tile to reveal it. A consonant shows its letter and a small number: how many vowels touch that tile. All eight neighbours count — across, down and diagonal.
3. A revealed vowel is a mistake. It shows in red and counts against you — three mistakes ends the game and the whole board is revealed.
4. Flag where the vowels hide. Tap the Flag button (or long-press a tile, or right-click it) to mark a tile, then tap the flagged tile and pick its vowel from the A E I O U buttons — or press the letter key.
5. A correct vowel locks in green. A wrong vowel flashes red, counts as a mistake, and the tile stays flagged so you can try again.
6. Solve the board to win. When every vowel sits in its right place, the board is solved — your time and mistakes are shown, and your best time per difficulty is saved on this device.
7. Daily vs Practice. Daily is one board per day for the difficulty you pick — the same board for everyone, changing at midnight UTC. Practice deals a fresh random board every time. Easy reveals most consonants at the start; Hard reveals the fewest.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is VowelSweep free? Yes. It runs free in your browser with no account and no sign-up — tap a tile, flag the vowels, and solve the board.

Is this the same game as VowelSweeper? No. VowelSweep here is Wordle Find’s own implementation, built for this site. It is independent and not affiliated with the creator of VowelSweeper.

What do the small numbers mean? The number on a revealed consonant counts the vowels touching that tile — all eight neighbours, including diagonals. A tile with no number has no vowels touching it.

What happens if I reveal a vowel? It counts as a mistake and shows in red. Three mistakes ends the game and reveals the whole board — Daily restarts the same board, Practice deals a new one.
