How to Play Wordle

Challenge your word skills by attempting to guess the secret word in just six tries. Each guess must consist of a valid five-letter word. Pay close attention to the color changes of the tiles, which indicate how close your guess was to the correct word.

Gameplay Mechanics

In Wordle, players receive feedback after each guess through colored tiles. A green tile signifies a correct letter in the correct position, while yellow indicates a correct letter but in the wrong spot. Gray tiles mean the letter is not part of the word at all. Remember, multiple instances of the same letter in a guess are only marked green or yellow if the letter also appears multiple times in the secret word.

Features and Variations

• Daily Challenge: Every day presents a new opportunity to crack the daily word within six attempts.
• Themes: Enjoy the game with customizable themes, including a dark theme and a high-contrast theme for colorblind accessibility.
• Hard Mode: Test your word prowess by enabling hard mode, which requires including letters marked as green and yellow in subsequent guesses.

Wordle's Evolution and Influence

Wordle was born out of a desire for a fun word game to play with friends, eventually becoming a viral sensation after its public release in October 2021. The game's acquisition by The New York Times Company in January 2022 catapulted it into mainstream popularity, leading to its inclusion in the newspaper's Games section.

With its addictive gameplay and simple yet engaging mechanics, Wordle continues to captivate players worldwide, proving that sometimes, the simplest games are the most enduring.
