Wordle is a free-to-play word guessing game on the New York Times Games. This simple game has been one of the most viral games of 2022 so far, but some word puzzle fans have yet to play this game and might need some help.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle pits players against a single mystery five-letter English word every day. Although it is very easy to learn how to play, some curious about the game they may have heard a lot about will still need to learn the rules of the game. Here they are:
First, head to the New York Times Games Wordle website. There are loads of copycats and clones out there, but this is both the original and the subject of this article. Other versions will have different answers and may even have slightly different rules.
After getting to the right site, players will need to choose a starting Wordle word. This word:
- Needs to be five letters long and a real English word.
- Cannot be a proper noun.
- Should contain loads of common letters in Wordle puzzles.
- Should not be a potentially offensive word, like those removed by the New York Times when it purchased the game.
Take the starting word and type it into the website. Press enter. This will cause the letters of the word to change colors, giving players some clues as to the real word of the day.
- If a letter turns green, it is correct.
- If a letter turns gray, it is incorrect and won't appear at all in the final puzzle.
- Yellow letters are right but in the wrong position in the word.
Given these clues, choose another word to try out; type it into the next line of the Wordle grid. Press enter, and the letters of this word will also change colors. Players have a total of six tries to get to the word of the day. There is only one puzzle per day for everyone, so the word will be the same for everyone who plays. Puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.
