What is Wordle?

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game which challenges players to discover a five-letter word within six attempts. The game offers three feedback types which show players their guess results through green letters that indicate correct letters in their correct positions and yellow letters which show existing word letters that are incorrectly located and gray letters which reveal letters that do not exist in the secret word.

The game reached international popularity during the last months of 2021 and The New York Times purchased the game in the early months of 2022. Since that time, it has become one of the most popular online word games as players worldwide have obtained billions of game plays.

How to play Wordle

Players must start the game by entering a five-letter word. The color-coded hints which appear after each guess help them narrow down their choices until they find the correct word within six attempts. The answer allows multiple letter repetitions and players can use grayed-out letters for their next guesses to check different letter patterns.

Wordle resets daily at midnight local time and is available for free on the New York Times website and apps. The platform allows users to create accounts which enable them to monitor their performance and view their winning streaks.
