Wordle Game

Wordle gives you six tries to figure out a single five-letter word, with nothing but colored tiles to guide you. It is a pure logic puzzle that resets every day, meaning everyone playing is trying to crack the exact same word at the exact same time.

Each guess you make must be a valid English word. When you hit enter, the tiles flip to reveal how close you were: green means the letter is in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else, and gray means the letter isn't in the word at all. You use that feedback to narrow down the possibilities until you either find the answer or run out of rows.

Controls

You only need a keyboard or touchscreen to play. Type your guess using the letters, hit Enter to submit it, or use Backspace to erase a mistake before submitting.

Tips

• Pick a strong opener: Start with a word that uses common consonants and multiple vowels, like STARE, CRANE, or AUDIO, to knock out as many letters as possible on the first turn.
• Don't reuse gray letters: It sounds obvious, but it is easy to accidentally type a letter you already know isn't in the word. Take your time to check your remaining valid letters.
• Move your yellows: If you get a yellow letter, make sure you put it in a completely different position on your next guess to help pin down where it actually belongs.

Because there is no timer, you can step away and come back to your board later in the day if you get stuck on a difficult pattern.
