Once again, there is a brand-new Wordle puzzle for fans all over the English-speaking world to try to solve. And, like all the previous puzzles, some may get tripped up on this word and need a hint or two.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a free-to-play, browser-based game by the New York Times Games. It does not currently require an account, but soon players will be able to link their Wordle scores to their New York Times Games accounts, meaning that the game may not be free for much longer. The NYTs version is the original version of the game, and everything in this article will be referencing this Wordle. Other copycats and clones of the game will have different answers, and may even have slighty different rules.
Here is how to play:
- Head to the New York Times Games Wordle website.
- Choose a good starting word. It must be five letters long and a real word. It should also contain commonly used letters in Wordle puzzles.
- Type this chosen starting word into the top line of the grid on the site. Press enter.
- The letters will change colors to give players some clues to the real answer.
- Green are right, gray are wrong, and yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.
- Given these clues, players have a total of six tries to get to the correct answer.
- There is only one puzzle per day; there will be a brand-new word for everyone at midnight local time.
After completing the puzzle, don't forget to check out the Wordle menu that will pop up. It contains the spoiler-free share button and the player's Wordle stats.
