Learn more about Wordle
In Wordle, you have six rows of five boxes each day and your task is to find out which five-letter word is hidden behind it by eliminating or confirming the letters contained in them.
Start with a strong word For example, a good place to start is LEASH – something that has multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeating letters. Once you hit enter, the boxes will tell you which letters you got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter does not appear in the secret word at all. 🟨 means that the letter appears 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 original word by using another “good” guess 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. After that, all you need to do is apply what you’ve learned to narrow down your guesses to the right word. You have six attempts in total, and you can only use real words (so don’t fill in the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget that letters can repeat too (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by a software engineer Josh Wardleas a surprise for his partner, who loves word games. From there, it spread through his family and was finally made available to the public. The word puzzle game has since then had countless Games like Wordlewhich focuses the daily fun on music, mathematics or geography. It did not take long for Wordle to become so popular that it sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. It is surely only a matter of time before we all communicate only in three-coloured boxes.
