Wordle gives you six rows of five squares each day, and your job is to guess what secret five-letter word is hidden in each one to keep your winning streak going.
You should start with a powerful word like ARISE or any other word that has a good mix of common consonants and lots of vowels. You’ll also want to avoid starting words with repeated letters, as you’ll waste the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit enter, you’ll see which answers are correct and which aren’t. If the box changes to ⬛️, that means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means that the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means that you have the right letter in the right place.
Your second guess should follow up on the initial word by using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time, while also trying to avoid any letters you now know for sure aren’t in today’s answer. With any luck, you should have a few colored squares to work with and set yourself on the right track.
Then it’s just a matter of using what you’ve learned to narrow down your guess to the right word. You have six tries in total, and you can only employ real words (so don’t fill in the EEEEE boxes to see if there’s an E there). Don’t forget that letters can be repeated too (like BOOKS).

Wordle was originally invented by a software engineer Josh Wardleas a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there, the game spread to his family and eventually was released to the public. The word game has inspired a ton of games like Wordlefocusing the everyday gadget around music, math or geography. It didn’t take long for Wordle to become so popular that sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. It’s probably only a matter of time before we communicate exclusively using three-colored squares.
