April 3, 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: It’s almost time for the NAMA Show, so let’s have some show-related fun. The word for April 3 relates to where counts spike and unexpected conversations happen.

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.
