How to Play Wordle

Wordle is a popular online word puzzle that you can play daily, in which you attempt to guess a five-letter word in six guesses or fewer. It's easy to understand and addictive, perfect for that morning cup of coffee.

First Guess

Type any five-letter word that is a valid English word (like SLATE), then hit Enter.

Color Feedback

After each guess, letters will change colors:

Green: You have the correct letter in the correct location.

Yellow: You have the correct letter in the incorrect location.

Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Apply Logic

Now with mistakes in grays ruled out from the next guess, greens will be treated as priorities, and yellows will be tried in other locations depending on their color.

Guess Within Six Tries

Suppose you can find the word within six guesses. Congratulations! You have won for the day. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day.
