Wordle displays six rows of five boxes each day, and your task is to guess which five-letter word is hidden by eliminating or confirming the letters it contains.
Start with a robust word e.g., LEASH – something with lots of vowels, common consonants, and no repeated letters – is a good place to start. When you press Enter, the fields will show which letters are correct and which are incorrect. If the box turns ⬛️, it means that this letter is not in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word but not in that position. 🟩 means you have the right letter in the right place.
Your second attempt should complete the starting word, using another “good” guess to cover any common letters you missed last time, while also trying to avoid letters you now know are not present in today’s answer. Then all you need to do is exploit what you’ve learned to narrow down your guesses to the right word. You have six tries in total and you can only exploit real words (so you don’t have to fill in the EEEEE fields to see if the letter E is there). Don’t forget that letters can also be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally invented by a software engineer Josh Wardleas a surprise for your partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family and was eventually released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has inspired a lot of people games like Wordlefocusing everyday tricks around music, math or geography. It didn’t take long for Wordle to become so popular sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all communicate only in three-colored boxes.
