Wordle is back today with another five-letter mystery. Fans from all over the world will be logging in today to puzzle through the New York Times' new challenge, and some might end up stumbling and needing a little bit of help to get through it with a win.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a very short daily word puzzle. Every day, players can log in to attempt the new word. But in order to play, they will first need to be familiar with the rules of the game.
First and foremost, players will want to make sure they are in the right spot. There are many Wordle clones out there, but the New York Times version is the original. The answer, hints, and rules listed here will be about this version. In order to access the NYT Wordle, head to either its Games page or the official Crossword App. Here's how to play:
- Choose a starting Wordle word. It must be five letters long, a real word, and not a proper noun. Players should choose words that haven't been Wordle answers before and avoid plural nouns ending in S or ES. Choose words that have five different letters common to Wordle puzzles.
- Type the starting word into the top row of the Wordle grid.
- Press enter either on the onboard keyboard on the site or the New York Times Crossword Wordle App, or use the device's keyboard.
- Watch the colors of each letter change; each color is a clue to the real answer.
- Letters that turn green are correct, gray are incorrect, and letters that become yellow are right but in the wrong place in the word.
- Given these clues, choose a new word. The letters of this word will also change colors.
- Keep trying new words until the answer is guessed or players have run out of their six tries.
