Each day, Wordle presents you with six rows of five squares, and your task is to guess what secret five-letter word is hidden inside.
You will want to start with a forceful word like ALERT — something with lots of vowels, common consonants, and no repeated letters. Hit Enter, and the boxes will show you which letters you got right and which ones you didn’t. If the box changes to ⬛️, it means that this letter is not 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 attempt should complement the first, using another “good” word to replace common letters that you didn’t notice before, while also trying to avoid letters that you now know for sure don’t appear in today’s answer.
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 boxes.
