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 fewer. 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

If you get the word within six guesses, congrats! You win for the day. Everyone gets the same puzzle daily.
