Play the addictive 5-letter word guessing game that everyone loves - now with unlimited puzzles! Each game gives you 6 chances to solve the word using color-coded hints. Perfect for word lovers and puzzle enthusiasts.

How to Play Wordle?

Step 1: Enter Any Five-Letter Word

You have 6 attempts to guess the hidden word. Start with any five-letter word - the colors will show how close you are to the answer.

Color Guide:

  • Gray: Letter is not in word
  • Yellow: Letter is in the word but wrong spot
  • Green: Letter is in the correct spot

Step 2: Use the Hints

Based on the first guess feedback, choose a word with new letters. Avoid using gray letters and try to reposition yellow ones.

Each guess provides new information. Keep track of eliminated letters and those needing repositioning to find the answer faster.

Step 3: Narrow It Down

You should have found some correct letters by now. Focus on repositioning yellow letters while trying new common letters for more clues.

Green letters are locked in their positions. Think about possible word combinations around these known positions.

Final Step: Solve the Puzzle

Use all the information you've gathered to focus on uncertain positions. Consider all possible combinations and choose a real English word. Remember, the answer is always a valid word!

Through previous attempts, we determined the positions of P and A, and knew Y was in the word. Finally, we successfully guessed the answer: "HAPPY"!

Success

Answer is "HAPPY"! Attempts: 4/6

Game Tips

  • Choose starting words with common letters
  • Pay attention to color feedback
  • Avoid reusing eliminated letters
  • Prioritize repositioning yellow letters
  • Build around green letters

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the rules of Wordle?

Wordle is a word guessing game with simple rules:

  • You have 6 attempts to guess a 5-letter word
  • Each guess must be a valid English word
  • After each guess, letters will be color-coded:
    • 🟩 Letter is in the correct spot
    • 🟨 Letter is in the word but wrong spot
    • ⬜ Letter is not in the word
  • You win by guessing the word within 6 tries

Can the same letter appear twice in the word?

Yes! The answer word can contain repeated letters. For example, words like "HAPPY" or "SPEED" are possible answers. When this happens, the color hints will indicate each instance of the letter separately.

What types of words can be the answer?

The answer is always a valid English word. This includes common nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Proper nouns (like names), abbreviations, and hyphenated words are not used as answers.

What's the best strategy for the first guess?

Starting with a word that contains common letters and multiple vowels is often effective. Words like "STARE", "ADIEU", or "RAISE" are popular choices as they help eliminate many possibilities early in the game.

How do repeated letters work in the game?

When a word has repeated letters, each letter gets its own color hint. For example, if you guess "SPEED" and the target word is "HAPPY", the first P will be yellow (wrong position) and the second P will be green (correct position). The game will always show hints for all instances of a letter.

Why are some of my guesses not accepted?

All guesses must be valid English words. Even though a word won't be the answer, it needs to be a real word to be accepted as a guess. This helps keep the game challenging while remaining fair.

How do I know which letters to try next?

Focus on the feedback from your previous guesses. Green letters show correct positions - build around these. Yellow letters need new positions - try rearranging them. Gray letters should be avoided in future guesses.

Is there a time limit for solving the puzzle?

No, there's no time limit. You can take as long as you need to think about each guess. However, you only get 6 attempts to guess the word correctly, so choose your guesses carefully!
