Today’s numbers and the city table
Every finished board counts once, checked against the day’s answer. Choose your city when you finish, and it plays for them.
Two games, one streak
Monday to Friday: the legal word
Guess a legal term of five to eight letters in six tries. After each guess, a green tile is in the right place, a gold tile is in the word but elsewhere, and a grey tile isn’t in it at all. Stuck? Open a clue: the meaning first, then the first letter, and more after each guess.
Saturday and Sunday: the maxim
You get the meaning; find the Latin. Guess it a letter at a time, with six wrong letters allowed. Every answer comes with the Library’s own note on where the law uses it.

About Maxim-le
What is Maxim-le?
A free daily word game for law: a Wordle-style puzzle where every answer is a legal term or a Latin maxim, drawn from the CLATcoach Legal GK Library. One new puzzle each day at midnight, India time.
How do you play?
On weekdays, guess a legal word of five to eight letters in six tries. Each guess colours the letters: green is in the right place, gold is in the word but elsewhere, grey is not in it. At the weekend, find a Latin maxim a letter at a time, with six wrong letters allowed.
Are there clues?
Yes. The first clue (what the word means, or where the law uses the maxim) can be opened at any time; each further clue, such as the first letter or the maxim’s vowels, opens after one more guess. Your shared result shows how many clues you used.
Is it like Wordle?
The weekday game follows the same colour rules as Wordle, but every answer is a legal term, and the weekend game is a maxim puzzle that Wordle does not have. When you finish, you get the term’s meaning and a note on where the law uses it.
Does Maxim-le help with CLAT?
It builds the legal vocabulary and the Latin maxims that turn up in Legal Reasoning passages and Legal GK. It is practice in recall, not a substitute for passage-based questions.
Where can I find past answers?
Every past answer, with its meaning, is in the Maxim-le archive. Today’s answer is added the next day. Open the archive →
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up is needed to play. Your streak is kept in your browser; a free account keeps it across devices.
