Wordle is a simple word puzzle game that anyone can play every day. It pits players against a secret five-letter word, and today's word is quite the challenge. Some players may be looking for a hint or two to help them out or even just the whole answer.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle became an overnight sensation back in early 2022. Suddenly, everyone was seeing those little green and yellow squares on their timelines; this spawned so many copycats that players might be confused about which is the original. In order to play the first Wordle and the subject of this article, players will need to find the New York Times Games Wordle site or Crossword app. This is the original, and other clones might have slightly different rules and answers.
First, players will need to choose a good starting word for Wordle. This word should be five letters long, a real English word, and not a previous Wordle answer. It should have a lot of common letters in Wordle puzzles. Players should also avoid plural nouns ending in S and any offensive words.
Once a good starting word has been chosen, players need to type it into the website and press enter. This will make the letters change colors.
- Letters that turn green are right and in the right place or places in the word.
- Yellow letters are right but in the wrong location(s) in the word.
- Gray letters are incorrect.
Now that players have some good clues to the answer, they need to use those to choose a new word and type it into the second row of the Wordle site. This word will also change colors, giving players even more clues. Players have a total of six tries to get to the answer.
