Wordle has taken the internet by storm with its simple yet addictive daily word guessing. As players try to uncover the mystery word, they must use logic, vocabulary, and a little bit of luck to uncover the correct combination of letters. In order to succeed, players might want a little help to get them going in the right direction.
How To Play Wordle
In order to successfully play Wordle for the first time, players will need to make sure they are in the correct place. The original version of Wordle was purchased by the New York Times Games in early 2022, and it is only hosted on the newspaper's Games page and its Crossword app. Other versions will have different answers, and many have slight variations in rules.
The first thing players need to do to get started playing Wordle is to choose a starting word. In order to get off on the right foot, players will want to choose a word that:
- Is five letters long.
- Is a real English word.
- Is not an offensive word.
- Is not a plural noun ending in S.
- Is not a previous answer.
- Is filled with common letters to Wordle puzzles.
Once a good starter is chosen, put it into the Wordle grid. Press enter. This will cause its letters to change colors.
- Green = correct
- Yellow = correct but in the incorrect location in the word
- Gray = incorrect
Given these hints, try a new word and get even more clues, getting a little closer to the answer with each try. Players have a grand total of six tries to get to the answer. There is only one Wordle for everyone; new puzzles come about at midnight local time every day.
