Can YOU beat the average GuessWord puzzler's time... and what does it take to be in America's top 5% fastest players? Find out the secrets of the mystery word game taking the U.S. by storm

The average GuessWord player takes less than three minutes to solve the puzzle - can you beat them?

DailyMail.com this month released its FREE new puzzles page, loaded with number and word puzzles, quizzes and crosswords. 

GuessWord has rapidly emerged as a fan-favorite, with readers across the country racing to identify the six-letter mystery word in record time.

But data indicates that every second counts. 

The top 5 percent of players complete the game in less than a minute, while the average is 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

On average just 1 percent of players are able to complete the puzzle in under 30 seconds. On the other end of the spectrum, only 7 percent need more than six minutes.

GuessWord gives players six chances to find a five-letter word, uncovering which letters and where they appear along the way.

But players need to be strategic to avoid running out of guesses, and the longer they take to find the mystery word, the lower they'll slip down the leaderboards which can be viewed after each game.

Also among the dozens of quizzes and word puzzles in DailyMail.com's FREE new puzzle section is a host of addictive number games to test your logic.

In addition to flagship Japanese puzzle Sudoku are a number of others, like Futoshiki, Hidato, KenKen, Suguru and Suko.

Unlike crosswords and word-based games, number puzzles are popular among those looking to test their logical thinking and not their knowledge or vocabulary.

Also in the number puzzle section are various interpretations of Sudoku - those include Killer Sudoku, Mini Sudoku,  Sudoku X and Ultra Sudoku, each of which is offered with varying difficulty.

Sudoku Ultra is the most user-friendly deployment of the classic number game, allowing players to enter possible values into each empty box, and to conveniently wipe them out once a definite selection is made. 

KenKen takes Sudoku to the next level, unlike Sudoku where each number performs the role of a symbol, players need to consider numerical value of the number and carry out arithmetic.

Similarly, Suko requires players to enter all numbers into a grid and to in ensure separate totals are satisfied.

But it doesn't get any tougher than Killer Sudoku - none of the initial squares are filled and in addition to the rows, columns and 3 by 3 regions, each square is part of a larger cell and also has a sum. 

Also on offer are multiple-choice quizzes like MasterQuiz, Mindbender and Quick Quiz. MasterQuiz is a six-round quiz that tests readers on their current affairs and general knowledge.

Mindbender measures your mental acuity with a handful of questions on arithmetic and verbal reasoning. Fastest of the bunch is Quick Quiz - a quick-fire game consisting of five short questions.

And every Saturday a ten-round quiz - Pub Quiz - will be updated with ten general trivia questions.
