Wordle has been all-encompassing since it went viral earlier this year. It seems like it's been everywhere from the Twitter of Suicide Squad's director James Gunn to the Mariners vs. Astros game a couple of days ago. But there are some out there that have yet to play, so here's a breakdown of the rules as well as some hints and the answer to today's Wordle.
How To Play Wordle
The original Wordle is located on the New York Times games site. All the hints, rules, and answers in this article will be about this version; while there are tons of copycats and clones out there, this is the original. It has been hosted on the NYTs site since it was purchased by the newspaper back in February. Here's how to play:
Head to the site and choose a great starting word. This word should contain commonly used letters in Wordle puzzles, like L, R, and T. Type the chosen word into the site and press enter. The letters will change colors to give players a clue as to the real solution.
- Gray letters are incorrect and won't appear in the answer.
- Green letters are correct and in the right place.
- Yellow letters are correct, but the letter is in the wrong place in the word.
After that, players have five more tries to get to the answer before they lose. Once the puzzle is complete, players will get access to the Wordle menu, which contains the spoiler-free share button and the player's stats. These include win streaks, total puzzles played, and guess distribution of all the Wordle puzzles played on that browser on that device.
