Wordle
Wordle is a word-guessing game where you have six attempts to identify a hidden 5-letter word. After each guess, tiles change color to show how close you are: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word but wrong spot, and gray means it's not in the word at all.
Wordle Rules
Type a valid 5-letter English word and press Enter to submit your guess. You have six attempts to find the hidden word.
After each guess, the letters change color: green means the letter is in the correct position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different position, and gray means the letter is not in the word at all.
Use the color feedback to narrow down possibilities. The on-screen keyboard also updates to show which letters you've used and their status.
Wordle Strategy & Tips
Start with vowel-rich words
Good opening words contain common vowels and consonants. Words like CRANE, SLATE, or AUDIO help you quickly identify which common letters are in the word.
Don't reuse gray letters
Once a letter turns gray, it's not in the word. Avoid using it in subsequent guesses — you're wasting a chance to test new letters.
Pay attention to yellow placement
A yellow letter tells you two things: the letter IS in the word, but NOT in that position. Place it somewhere else in your next guess.
Think about common word patterns
English has common endings (-TION, -IGHT, -OUND) and patterns. If you have some green letters, think about what common words fit that pattern.
