How to play Wordle

Wordle is wonderfully simple. The goal is to guess the correct five-letter word within six times. After each guess, the letters of your chosen word will be 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.

Using these clues you can start finding the right word. Head over to the Wordle site and try it for yourself!

How did Wordle start?

Wordle started life as a small family game created by software engineer Josh Wardle. He created the game so he and his partner could play a fun word game together during the pandemic, and they quickly realized there was something very special in this simple little guessing game. So after a bit of refinement, 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 the game had two million daily players. It became a viral hit, largely due to the ease with which players could share their results on Twitter and other social media sites in a spoiler-free manner. 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 Wordle words not allowed?

You can type 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 might be overturned in the United States, the NYT decided to change the March 30 word from “FETUS” to “SHINE,” feeling that the word “fetus” was too political was. spoke a word in the context of recent events.

The New York Times also made sure to never allow the answer to a Wordle puzzle to be considered rude words. But of course, nothing stops you from using even the dirtiest words as guesses, as long as they are accepted words in the dictionary, and as long as you realize that in the end they will never be the answer.

Is Wordle becoming too easy for you?

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

You can take it a step further by playing according to what we call ‘Ultra-Hard’ rules. This means that every guess you enter must could possibly be the answer. If you were just playing on Hard mode and you typed “MOIST” and the “O” appeared yellow, there would be nothing stopping you from using “POLAR” as your next word, even though it couldn’t possibly be the answer could be, because you already know that the “O” is in the wrong place. If you play according to the ‘Ultra-Hard’ rules, this is not allowed. You have to stick to every clue and make sure that every word you enter is potentially the answer.

If Wordle is still too easy for you, you can always try one of the many other Wordle-inspired games online that have popped up over the past year. One of our favorites is Worldle, where you have to guess a country in the world based on its shape. There’s also Waffle, which is about swapping letters in a completed grid to complete all the words; Moviedle, which shows you an entire movie in no time and challenges you to guess the movie within six times; and Quordle, which requires you to solve four Wordles at the same time using the same guesses.
