Head to the New York Times Games Wordle website. Choose a starting word; it should be:

  • Five letters long
  • A real English word.
  • A word with a variety of common Wordle letters, like S and T.

Once a good starting Wordle word is chosen, type it into the site and press enter. This will cause the letters of the chosen word to change colors. These colors will give players hints to the real word of the day. The colors are:

  • Green for correct letters in the right place in the word.
  • Yellow for correct letters in the wrong place in the word.
  • Gray for incorrect letters that will not appear in the final puzzle.

Players have six total tries of typing new words in and looking at their colors to get more clues until they run out of plays for the day. Puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.

After players are done with the word of the day, their Wordle menu will pop up. This menu will feature a spoiler-free share button and a bunch of stats. The stats include things like number of puzzles completed and win streaks.
