Have you seen people posting about Wordle on social media with seemingly cryptic strings of grey, yellow and green emoji squares and wondered what it was all about? Watch this video to learn what Wordle is, how Wordle works, and how to play Wordle!
Wordle is a daily word-guessing logic puzzle game
You can play it on nearly any device with a web browser, such as your smartphone, laptop, or tablet. You get six attempts to guess the five-letter word of the day. After each guess you submit, the game will tell you if you guessed any of the letters correctly. If you get a green letter, that means that letter is in the word and placed in the correct spot. If you get a yellow letter, that letter is in the word, but you’ve placed it in the wrong spot.
Any greyed-out letters are not in the word at all, so you can safely leave them out of any subsequent guesses. Everyone playing the daily Wordle gets the same word, so try not to spoil it for anyone by sharing what the answer was!
