Wordle is a new daily word game that's been taking the internet by storm. Each day, the web-based game gives players a new five-letter word to figure out, but they only have six tries to do so. Of course, the game has a built-in hint system to give Wordle players some help, but it's ultimately up to the player to do most of the legwork.

Once players open up Wordle, they will see six rows of blank squares. The player needs to input a word that fits in the boxes, and different colors will appear around the letter, signing different things about the letter placement. If a letter is highlighted in Green, then that means the letter is not only in th daily Wordle but also in the correct spot. If a letter is highlighted in Yellow, it means the letter is in the Wordle but not in the correct spot. And if a letter is greyed out, that means it doesn't belong in the word at all.
