Wordle is a daily word puzzle game by the New York Times. In order to play and win at this sometimes-challenging word puzzle, some players may need a hint or two, or even just the whole answer for today's puzzle.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle pits players against a new, mystery, five-letter word once a day. In order to play, new fans will first need to learn all the rules and a little bit of strategy. The very first thing, though, players will first want to make sure they are in the right place. Wordle was super popular back in early 2022, and it spawned a lot of copycats and clones. But the original and the subject of this article is the New York Times Games version; it can only be found on the NYT Games website and its Crossword app. Other versions will have different answers than what is listed here, and they may even have slightly different rules of how to play.

  • First, choose a good starting Wordle word. This word must be five letters long and real English. Good starting words also have a variety of common letters in it.
  • Another tip: Wordle answers are now edited by a human editor, and the answers are now guaranteed to never repeat and never be plural nouns ending in S or ES. They are also themed around any American holidays that may be happening.
  • Type the starting Wordle word into the top row of the site.
  • Press enter.
  • The letters of the word will change colors. These colors will give some clues to the real answer.
  • Green letters are right, gray are wrong, and yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.
  • Try a new word and get new clues.
  • Players have a total of six tries to get to the answer of the day.
