How To Play Wordle

As a quick note: Wordle was massively popular back in early 2022. This meant that there are many copycats and clones out there. Although the popularity of Wordle has fallen since the New York Times bought it, a lot of those clones still remain. But the original version, and the subject of this article, is the newspaper giant's version. Other clones may have different rules and will likely have different answers as well. Here's how to play the NYT's Wordle.

In order to get started, players just need to choose a great starting word for Wordle. This word should be five letters long, a real English word, and filled with common letters. This will help to make the next steps a little easier.

Once a great word to start is chosen, type it into the Wordle site.
Press enter.
The letters will change colors to give players clues.
Green are right, gray are wrong, and yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.
Players have five more tries to get to the word.
Wordle puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.

After players are done with today's puzzle, the Wordle menu will pop up. This helpful little menu gives players access to the spoiler-free share button, Wordle stats, and the time until the next puzzle is available. These stats include things like total puzzles played, win percentage, and current puzzle winning streak.
