Wordle is a simple word game, but it can be incredibly difficult to master. This daily puzzle is short and sweet with only a couple of rules, but guessing the answers can be very challenging in just six tries. Thankfully, there's help here for anyone looking for clues or just the whole answer to today's Wordle.
How To Play Wordle
While Wordle was massively popular at the beginning of the year, some word puzzle fans have yet to try this viral sensation. If players want to learn about the rules, check below for a full breakdown of how to play Wordle.
First, players will want to make sure they are playing the correct version. The subject of this article is the original version which is hosted on the New York Times Games website and the New York Times Crossword app. Other versions will have different answers, and they can have different rules as well. Once players are in the right place, they will need to choose a good starting word.
Good starting words have several things in common: they are all five-letter, real English words, they aren't proper nouns or offensive words, nor do they end with S or ES. Players should also know that Wordle answers are now curated, so some answers will be themed around the American holiday if there is one that day. Wordle words have yet to repeat, though that may change at some point in the future, so players should keep all these in mind when formulating the best starter word.
Type the starting word into the Wordle grid and press enter. The letters of the word will change.
- Letters that become green are right.
- Letters that become gray are wrong.
- If a letter becomes yellow, it is right but in the wrong position in the word.
Players have a total of six tries to get to the answer.
