What Is Wordle?
Wordle is a daily online word puzzle created by Josh Wardle, who first created the game as a prototype in 2013 and released it in 2021. It challenges players to guess a five-letter word in six attempts or fewer, using clues from previous guesses. The game became a viral hit in late 2021 due to its simplicity, shareable results, and the excitement of solving a new puzzle every day. Wordle has even inspired countless spin-offs and daily challenges across social media.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a simple but addictive word puzzle. Each day, players get six attempts to guess the five-letter word answer. After each guess:
- Green letters are correct and in the right position.
- Yellow letters are correct but in the wrong position.
- Gray letters are not in the word at all.
The goal is to guess the word in as few tries as possible. Daily puzzles keep players coming back for more, making it a fun brain exercise and a trending topic online.

Tips On How To Play
While everyone has a different strategy for how they play the game to get today’s Wordle answer, there are tips and tricks you can use to help you get the daily words in as few attempts as possible.
- Tip 1: Use a word with common vowels and consonants (like SLATE or STRAW) to reveal useful letters early.
- Tip 2: Don’t just rearrange your first word to find the answer. If you don’t know it right away, pick a second word that uses different letters you haven’t tried yet. This will help you narrow down your options quicker.
- Tip 3: Don’t use duplicate letters too early. If you think a word has a duplicate letter, wait until you’re more confident the letter appears twice in the word.
- Tip 4: Wait on uncommon letters. To make it easier, try and find all the common letters first. Once you’ve ruled out any common vowels or consonants, then give letters like “J”, “X”, or “Z” a try.
