About Wordle

Wordle is a daily word-guessing puzzle that gives you exactly six chances to find a hidden five-letter word. You start with a completely blank grid, typing in any valid five-letter word to begin. The game relies entirely on deduction, rewarding players who carefully consider which letters to test and which to eliminate early on.

After you submit a guess, the tiles change color to reveal how close you are to the answer. The pace is entirely up to you—some players rush to solve it in minutes, while others stare at the grid over their morning coffee. Because there is only one puzzle released each day and everyone gets the exact same word, solving it has become a shared ritual for puzzle fans everywhere.

Controls

You can play entirely with your keyboard or by clicking the on-screen letter layout:

  • Type letters to fill out your current guess.
  • Enter submits the word to check its accuracy.
  • Backspace deletes the last letter if you make a mistake before submitting.

Tips

  • Open with a word that checks multiple vowels and common consonants. "STARE," "ROAST," and "AUDIO" are solid choices that quickly narrow down the possibilities.
  • Do not reuse gray letters. If you know a letter isn't in the word, avoid guessing any new word that includes it, as it simply wastes one of your precious attempts.
  • Watch out for double letters. Just because you found one 'E' doesn't mean there can't be a second one hiding in the answer. Words like "SWEET" or "CHILL" often trip up experienced players.

Wordle FAQ

What do the tile colors mean in Wordle?
A green tile means the letter is correct and in the right spot. A yellow tile means the letter is in the word but currently in the wrong position. A gray tile means the letter isn't in the word at all.
Does the game allow you to play past puzzles?
By default, the game only offers the current daily puzzle. Once you complete it or run out of guesses, you have to wait until midnight for the next word to become available.
Are plurals ending in S ever the answer?
While you can guess regular plural words ending in S to test letters, the game's curated answer list generally avoids simple plural forms as the final solution.
