Another day means another Wordle puzzle for fans to ponder over. This word is challenging enough that even some long-time players may want a hint or two, or even the complete answer of the day.
How To Play Wordle
Word game enthusiasts fell in love with this simple little browser game early in 2022, which went viral on many social media sites. People all over the world's feeds were suddenly flooded with those little yellow and green blocks. But what do they mean? Here's a breakdown of how to play.
First, players will need to head to the New York Times Games site. While there are tons of copycats out there, this is the original version. It was purchased by the newspaper giant back in February. Although several Wordle clones have become massively popular, this is the version this article will reference.
In order to play, choose a five-letter English word to get started. This word should be filled with letters commonly used in Wordle puzzles and at least two vowels. Type this word into the website and press enter. The letter blocks will change colors to let the player know if the letters are right or wrong.
- Letters are correct when they turn green.
- Yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.
- Gray letters are incorrect and won't appear in the answer of the day.
Given these clues, players have six total guesses to get to the right answer. Once a puzzle is complete, the Wordle menu will pop up. This menu contains the spoiler-free share button and some stats. These include time until the next puzzle is available, winning streaks, total puzzles played, and more.
