March 13, 2026

Inspired by the popular word game, VENDL challenges you to guess a five-letter word related to vending, micro markets, office coffee and everything in between. Each week, there’s a new word, a new challenge and a chance to flex your industry expertise.

HINT: The word for March 13 relates to what your customer feels when two candy bars fall instead of one. (You? Not so much.)

How to Play

Think of the VENDL grid as a planogram: put the right letter in the right slot, and you have a winning formula.

To start, enter a five-letter word related to the convenience services industry.

  • Green letters indicate you guessed the correct letter in the correct place.
  • Yellow letters indicate that the letter is in the word but not in the correct position.
  • Gray letters indicate that the letter is not in the solution at all.

You have six tries to guess the word. After you complete it, you’ll have the option to fill out a few questions and see how you rank among your competitors.

Share your results and challenge your network.
