First, head to the site and choose a starting Wordle word. It must be five letters long, a real English word, and should contain a variety of common letters. Type the chosen word into the site and press enter; this will cause the letters to turn colors.

  • Letters that become green are right and in the right place in the word.
  • Those that turn gray are wrong.
  • Yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.

Given these clues, players need to try new words and get new clues until they either get to the answer or run out of tries. There is only one puzzle for everyone every day; words reset daily at midnight. If players are interested in knowing how long until the puzzle resets, there is a timer in the Wordle menu that can be accessed by clicking the graph icon at the top of the screen.
