Description:
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where you have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. Each guess provides color-coded feedback: green for correct letters in the right spot, yellow for correct letters in the wrong position, and gray for letters not in the word. With one new puzzle released daily, everyone worldwide competes to solve the same word.
Created by Josh Wardle for his partner and released in October 2021, the game went viral after adding shareable emoji results. Now owned by The New York Times, Wordle attracted 4.8 billion plays in 2023. The game features a dark theme and a colorblind-friendly mode that uses orange and blue instead of green and yellow.
FAQ:
What are the best starting words?
According to NYT data, popular first guesses include "adieu," "audio," "stare," "raise," and "arise." However, words like "slate" may lead to faster solutions.
Is Wordle different in other countries?
Wordle uses American spelling, which some international players consider an advantage for US-based players.
What is Hard Mode?
Hard Mode requires you to use previously revealed letters (green and yellow) in subsequent guesses.
Can I play more than once per day?
Wordle offers just one puzzle daily, with the same word for all players worldwide.
How does WordleBot scoring work?
WordleBot scores based on theoretical optimal play rather than just getting the correct answer. It evaluates your strategy against its database of possible solutions.
