How to Play Wordle

Wordle is a simple and free-to-play game available for just about any browser for both PC and mobile devices. Players have the opportunity to guess a secret five-letter word in six tries. A new word comes around at midnight local time every day, but players can also access older puzzles that they missed through the Wordle archive. New players to the game and those who just need a little help might want a few hints to help them get to the right combination of letters. So here is a basic breakdown of the rules.

Head to the Wordle website. Type in any five-letter word; it must be a real English word. While there are some strategies for the best starting words in Wordle, players can type in just about anything they would like. It's recommended that players take out as many vowels as possible and make sure to include both a T and an R in the starting word to help out.

Once a word has been guessed, the letters will be highlighted in one of three colors. If green, the correct letter is in the correct location. When the letter turns yellow, it means that the letter is in the word somewhere, but it is in the wrong location. Gray letters are not in the word of the day at all. Words can contain a double letter.
