Wordle gameplay overview

Wordle gives every player the same five-letter puzzle for the day and allows six guesses. After each accepted word, colored tiles show whether a letter is correct and in the right position, present elsewhere, or absent from the answer. The small grid makes the rules easy to learn, while the shared daily answer gives friends a spoiler-free result to compare.

Strong play is less about memorizing obscure words than managing information. A useful opening covers common letters, but later guesses should respond to the exact feedback already on the board. Duplicate letters deserve special care because the tiles reflect how many copies the answer can actually contain. Play opens on the official New York Times Games page.

How to play Wordle

  1. Enter any accepted five-letter word as your first guess.
  2. Use the tile colors to keep correct letters, move misplaced letters, and remove misses.
  3. Find the daily answer within six total guesses.

Wordle tips for a better first game

  • A broad first guess can test several common vowels and consonants at once.
  • Do not automatically exclude a second copy of a letter when one copy has already turned green.
  • In the final rows, prioritize words that can still be the answer over guesses that only test letters.
