Wordle

Wordle is a popular word game made by Josh Wardle and later bought by The New York Times.

Wordle gameplay

In Wordle, the goal is to guess the daily five-letter word in six tries. After your guess, you receive colored feedback so you can understand how close you are to the correct answer. Green indicates a letter is in the correct position. Yellow shows that the letter is in the word but is at the wrong spot. Black letters are not in any position.

Playing together

The daily Wordle is the same for everyone, so you can compete with your friends and other players on social media. One thing that made Wordle so successful is its special share method, which makes it possible to share your results without spoiling the correct answer. You share only the feedback colors from your guesses using emoji tiles.

Other Wordle-like word games

Wordle's success and viral popularity has inspired the creation of a lot of Wordle-like word games and other puzzle games sharing mechanics with the original game.
