Wordle took the internet by storm, hitting the web in 2021 and becoming viral in early 2022. It serves as an addictive brain teaser, and the once a day word puzzle achieved such success that the New York Times chose to purchase the rights to the game. With a fresh word to guess every day, fans continue to visit the game, but some answers are trickier than others.

How to Play Wordle

All players need to do to get started with Wordle is to visit the official game page on the New York Times' website. Each day, a new five-letter word is chosen that players have to guess with a limited number of chances to do so. Wordle keeps track of a player's prior scores, so players aim to keep their winning streaks going for as long as possible.

Correct answers in Wordle follow a few simple rules:

  • All Wordle answers are five letters long.
  • Wordle answers can only be real words.
  • Wordle answers may or may not include multiple instances of a single letter.
  • Wordle words typically use American spelling.
  • A good starting word should contain common vowels and consonants.

Once a player has chosen a good five-letter word to try, Wordle will reveal how close it is to the actual word:

  • Letters turning green mean that the letter is correct and in the right place.
  • A yellow letter indicates the letter is present in the word, but not where the player placed it.
  • If the letter turns gray, it's not used in the puzzle word at all.

Players get six turns total to try and guess the correct word, so they should carefully pay attention to what letters are present and aren't. Guessing words with letters that turned up yellow will help the player to narrow down their location while also uncovering additional letters.
