Wordle is back today with yet another challenge. While this popular game has had some very difficult words as answers, today's may trip some players up and make them lose their Wordle winning streaks.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle was massively popular back in early 2022, leading to many Wordle copycats and a large purchase deal from the New York Times Games. The original version of it is still on the NYT's website, and that will be the version that is discussed in this article. Other versions may have different answers and rules of play. Here are the rules for the NYT Wordle.

Head to the website and choose a starting Wordle word. It should be five letters long, a real English word, and filled with common letters to give players a good starting foundation. Wordle answers are also usually American English, are never a plural noun ending in S, and can contain duplicated letters as in POOCH. Type this chosen word into the site and press enter. Next, look at the colors that the letters turn for clues to the real five-letter answer.

  • Green letters are right and in the right place.
  • Gray are wrong and will not appear in the final word.
  • Yellow are correct but in the wrong placement inside the word.

Given these clues, players have a total of six tries to get to the answer. Puzzles reset at midnight daily, meaning there is only one word per day. If anyone is interested in more Wordle, they will need to go out onto the internet and find one of the many clones that suit them. This might include the Wordles with additional letters, with additional words, or even one of the themed games like the Fortnite-themed Wordle game called Fortle.
