Wordle has yet another challenging puzzle for players to try to solve today. In order to play, many will need the rules of play, some strategy for winning Wordle, and maybe even the full spoiler for today's five-letter word.
How To Play Wordle
To start playing, word puzzle fans will need to head to either the New York Times Games website or the New York Times Crossword app. These are the only two places players will find the original version of Wordle; there are loads of Wordle copycats and clones out there, but they will have different answers than what is listed here. Many clones also have slightly different rules as well, like the themed versions.
The first order of business is to choose a word. There are some rules this word must or should follow, so here's a little help for choosing the best starting Wordle word to begin.
- This word must be a real, English, five-letter word.
- Great starters have five different letters in them and two or three vowels.
- Players should avoid previous answers or plural nouns ending in S, as these cannot be answers today.
- Players must avoid offensive words and proper nouns as well.
Once a good word has been chosen, type it into the Wordle grid. Press enter, and watch the letters change colors. Here's what each color means:
- Green letters are correct.
- Gray letters are incorrect.
- Yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.
Now that players have some clues, they can try a new word. This word will also give more color-coded hints, getting players even closer to the real answer. Players have a total of six tries to guess the correct word before they lose.
There is only one word for everyone every day, so be sure to use that spoiler-free share button for sharing on social media. This helps to avoid ruining the puzzle for anyone else who hasn't had a chance to try it themselves. The word of the day resets at midnight local time every day, giving players a whole new puzzle. In order to keep track of a player's stats in Wordle, they should make sure to make a New York Times Games account or use the same browser every day.
