Wordle is a short and sweet little daily word game by the New York Times Games. This game has some simple rules, but it can be difficult to master. If players need a little extra help with the rules, a little strategy, or the answer to today's puzzle, this guide will help.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is an in-browser game that pits players against a mystery five-letter word. Players have only six total tries to get to the answer, and this may make solving these puzzles a little daunting. For anyone who is new to the game, a good understanding of the rules and some strategies will be helpful to get through today's Wordle with a win.
First, players want to make sure they are in the right place. This article is all about the original version of Wordle, which was purchased by the New York Times. It is hosted only on the NYT's Games website and the NYT's Crossword App. Any other location will be a different version of Wordle with different answers. Once in the right place, players will need to choose a great starting word. Here are some things to keep in mind while choosing the perfect beginning for today:
- Wordle puzzles are always five letters long and are real English words.
- Wordle answers cannot be proper nouns, previous answers, or plural nouns ending in S or ES.
- The best starting Wordle words have a variety of different letters in them.
Once a good starting word is chosen, type it into the first row of the Wordle grid. Press enter. This will cause the letters of the chosen starter word to change colors, and each color will give players a clue to the real answer.
- Green letters = right
- Gray letters = wrong
- Yellow letters = right but in the wrong place(s) in the word
Given these clues, players have six total tries to get to the answer. Puzzles reset at midnight local time.
