How to Share Your Wordle Results Without Spoilers

Wordle has a built-in method to share your results in a spoiler-free way. The people you send your results to will not see today’s Wordle word, only the colors in your grid to show how well you performed.

To share your Wordle results, complete (or lose) today’s Wordle and wait a moment for the statistics panel to appear on your screen. Then tap the “SHARE” button.

On PC, this simply copies the text to your clipboard, which you can then paste wherever you want, whether it’s a private message or a social media status update. On iPhone or Android, when you tap the “SHARE” button, you’ll have the option to copy the text to your clipboard or share the results directly to another app on your phone (like WhatsApp or Twitter).

Using Wordle’s built-in sharing feature is a much more fun way to share your results than giving away the answer to those who haven’t had a chance to play Wordle today themselves. So we highly recommend that you use it!

How to Play Wordle

Wordle is wonderfully simple. The goal is to guess the correct five-letter word within six guesses. After each guess, the letters of your chosen word are highlighted in green if they are in the right place, yellow if they are in the wrong place, or gray if they are not in the word at all.

These clues will help you find the right word. Visit the Wordle site to try it yourself!

How did Wordle come into being?

Wordle started out as a small family game created by software developer Josh Wardle. He created the game so that he and his partner could play a fun word game together during the pandemic, and they quickly realized that there was something special about this simple guessing game. So after a bit of refining, Wardle released it to the public on his website, Power Language.

The game was released in October 2021, and by the end of the year, it had two million daily players. It became a viral hit, largely due to the ease with which players could share their results spoiler-free on Twitter and other social media sites. In January 2022, Wardle accepted an offer from the New York Times to acquire Wordle for a seven-figure sum. Well done, Mr. Wardle. Well done indeed.

Are there any Wordle words that are not allowed?

You can type in virtually any five-letter word in the English language and Wordle will accept it as a guess. However, the answer is chosen each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words. Of course, there are still thousands of possible answers, but it means that the answer will never be a word as obscure as, say, “THIOL”, or “CAIRD”, or “MALIC” (yes, those are all real words).

There are very occasionally words that The New York Times chooses not to publish as the Wordle answer of the day, perhaps for reasons related to recent news or politics. For example, shortly after news broke that Roe v Wade would be overturned in the United States, the NYT decided to change the March 30th word from “FETUS” to “SHINE,” because it felt that the word “fetus” was too politically charged a word in the context of recent events.

The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what it considers rude words to be the answer to a Wordle puzzle. But of course, there’s nothing stopping you from using even the dirtiest words as a guess, as long as they’re accepted words in the dictionary and as long as you realize that they’ll never be the answer.

Is Wordle getting too easy for you?

If Wordle is starting to get too easy, there are a few ways to make the game more challenging for yourself. The first choice is to turn on Hard Mode. You can do this on the Wordle site by clicking on the gear icon at the top right of the screen. Hard Mode means that all highlighted letters must will be used in all future guesses. This prevents you from using the common tactic of choosing two words like “OUNCE” and “PAINS” to test all five vowels early on.

You can take it up a notch by playing what we call “Ultra-Hard” rules. This means that every bet you make must could possibly be the answer. If you were just playing on Hard mode and you typed “MOIST” and the “O” appeared in yellow, there would be nothing stopping you from making “POLAR” as your next word, even though that couldn’t possibly be the answer because you already know the “O” is in the wrong place. If you’re playing by the “Ultra-Hard” rules, that’s not allowed. You have to stick to every clue and make every word you type possibly the answer.

If Wordle still seems too easy for you after all that hassle, you can always try one of the many other Wordle-inspired games online that have appeared in the past year. One of our favorites is Worldle, in which you have to guess a country in the world based on its shape. There’s also Waffle, which has you swap letters in an entire grid to complete all the words; Moviedle, which shows you an entire movie in a short amount of time and challenges you to guess the movie within six guesses; and Quordle, which has you solve four Wordles at once with the same guess.
