Welcome to the severed floor! Guess Severance words from Lumon Industries, the mysterious MDR department, and Kier's legacy. Your innie would be proud.
This game pulls from the entire Lumon lexicon—character names like Mark, Irving, and Burt; departments and divisions; key terms from the severance procedure itself; and iconic locations within the sterile hallways of Lumon Industries. Expect words tied to both the Innie and Outie worlds: corporate jargon, employee surnames (Scout, Eagan, Cobel), and references to Kier's teachings. Fans of the show will recognize Dylan's rebellious energy, Gemma's mysterious return, and Ricken's pretentious self-help wisdom woven into the vocabulary.
Start with common five-letter names—Lumon, Ricken, Devon—to knock out vowels and frequent consonants. If you're stuck, think about the show's core themes: control, memory, rebellion. Words like Eagan or Kier tie directly to the mythology, while scout and Cobel reflect the surveillance culture inside Lumon. Don't forget locations and objects; the break room, the security office, and even the goats from the finale could inspire puzzle answers. Treat each guess like MDR work: methodical, pattern-seeking, and oddly satisfying.
Severance thrives on mystery and slow-burn reveals, and this game mirrors that tension. Every word is a callback—whether it's Burt and Irving's forbidden connection, Milchick lurking in the stairwell, or the chilling presence of Harmony Cobel posing as Mrs. Selvig. The game doesn't spoil the show, but it rewards fans who remember the details: the Overtime Contingency, the paintings in Petey's trailer, the waffle party that haunts Dylan. Each correct guess feels like uncovering another piece of Lumon's conspiracy.
How many words are in the Severance game?
The game includes dozens of words spanning characters, locations, corporate terms, and thematic references from both seasons.
Is this harder than regular Wordle?
If you've binged the show, no—proper nouns like Gemma and Lumon become second nature. New viewers might struggle with Kier-era terminology.
Can I play multiple times a day?
Yes. Unlike the daily Wordle, you can replay Severance puzzles as often as you like—perfect for testing your Innie's recall.
Are there spoilers?
Words are drawn from publicly known character names and settings. Major plot twists aren't directly spoiled, but obscure terms might hint at deeper lore.
Do I need to finish Season 2?
Not required, but helpful. Most core vocabulary—Mark, Irving, Dylan—comes from Season 1. Deeper cuts reward completionists.
