How to Play Wordle
What is Wordle?
Wordle is a daily online word puzzle where you guess a five-letter word in six tries or less. Simple, addictive, and perfect for your morning coffee ritual.
Start with a Guess
Type any valid five-letter English word (e.g., SLATE) and hit Enter.
Watch the Colors
After each guess, the letters will change color:
- 🟩 Green: Correct letter, right place.
- 🟨 Yellow: Correct letter, wrong place.
- ⬛ or ⬜ Gray: Letter not in the word at all.
Use Logic
Based on color feedback, refine your next guesses. Avoid reusing gray letters. Prioritize greens and reposition yellows.
Guess Within Six Tries
