About Wordle

Wordle is a daily puzzle that tests your deductive reasoning and vocabulary. You are presented with a blank grid and six chances to uncover a hidden five-letter word. Every time you submit a guess, the game responds by changing the color of the letter tiles to indicate how close you are to the answer. It is a brilliant mix of logic and language that takes just a few minutes a day.

Because there is only one puzzle released globally each day, the game creates a shared rhythm. You start completely blind, throwing out a strong opening word to gather clues, and then slowly narrow down the possibilities based on which letters are confirmed or eliminated. The satisfaction comes from that moment when the disparate hints suddenly click into the correct answer.

Controls

You can play entirely with your keyboard or by clicking the on-screen letter grid.

  • Type or tap letters: Enter your five-letter guess
  • Enter / Return: Submit the guess for checking
  • Backspace / Delete: Remove the last letter typed

Tips for Consistently Winning

  • Pick a strong opener: Start with a word heavy in vowels and common consonants (like R, S, T, L, N). "STARE" or "ROAST" are reliable choices that immediately test high-frequency letters.
  • Don't reuse gray letters: Once a letter is marked gray, it's not in the word. Pay attention to your keyboard layout at the bottom of the screen to avoid accidentally wasting a guess on a dead letter.
  • Use the process of elimination: If you know the word ends in "IGHT" and you've already eliminated "L" and "M", you can focus strictly on remaining consonants like "R" (RIGHT) or "S" (SIGHT).
