Wordle

What Is Wordle?

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where you have six attempts to guess a hidden five-letter word. After each guess, the tiles change color to give you feedback: green means the letter is in the correct position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position, and gray means the letter is not in the word at all. The goal is to figure out the secret word using logic and deduction before you run out of tries.

How to Play

• Type a 5-letter word — Use your keyboard or the on-screen keys.
• Press Enter — Submit your guess to see the color feedback.
• Green tile — The letter is correct and in the right spot.
• Yellow tile — The letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.
• Gray tile — The letter is not in the word.
• Win — Guess the word in 6 tries or fewer!

Daily Puzzle vs. Free Practice

In Daily Puzzle mode, there's one word per day — everyone gets the same word. It resets at midnight UTC, so come back tomorrow for a new challenge. In Free Practice mode, you can play unlimited random words anytime. Perfect for honing your skills between daily puzzles.

Tips to Win at Wordle

• Start with vowel-heavy words — Try words like ADIEU, AUDIO, or RAISE to identify vowels early.
• Avoid repeating letters in early guesses — maximize information from each guess.
• Use process of elimination — gray letters are out, so don't reuse them.
• Pay attention to position — yellow letters need to move to a different spot.
• Think about common letter patterns — English words often use -TION, -IGHT, -ATION.
• Don't waste guesses — even a wrong guess teaches you something.

Share Your Results

After finishing a puzzle, you can share your results using emoji blocks — no spoilers! The colored squares show your guess pattern without revealing the word. Share on social media to challenge your friends and compare strategies.
