Wordle

What Is Wordle?

Wordle is a word-guessing puzzle where you try to identify a hidden five-letter word within six guesses. After each guess, every letter is colored to show whether it's correct, present elsewhere in the word, or not in the word at all, guiding your next attempt.

How to Play

• Type a five-letter word using your keyboard or the on-screen keys, then press Enter
• Green tiles mean that letter is in the correct spot
• Yellow tiles mean the letter is in the word, but in a different position
• Gray tiles mean the letter does not appear in the word at all

Strategy Tips

• Open with a word that uses common vowels and consonants to gather the most information
• Use the colored feedback from every guess to narrow down letter positions before your next try
• Avoid repeating a gray letter in later guesses since it has already been ruled out
• Save any letter that shows both yellow and green clues for a priority spot in your next word
