Wordle

This free wordle-style game brings the world’s favorite word puzzle to your browser with no download. Guess the hidden five-letter word in six tries: every guess lights up green for right letter in the right spot, yellow for right letter in the wrong spot, and gray for misses. It is the same brain-teasing formula millions love — one puzzle, six chances, pure vocabulary skill.

How to Play Wordle

Type any valid five-letter word and hit Enter. The tiles flip to show your clues: green means the letter is locked in, yellow means the letter is in the word but needs moving, gray means drop that letter entirely. Use each round of clues to sharpen your next guess. Six tries, one hidden word — solve it before you run out.

Controls

Type letters with your keyboard and press Enter to submit. On mobile, use the on-screen keyboard. Backspace fixes typos before you submit.

The Color Code

Green — correct letter, correct spot. Build around these first.

Yellow — correct letter, wrong spot. Move it somewhere new in your next guess.

Gray — not in the word at all. Stop using that letter.

Reading the colors correctly is the whole game. A yellow is information, not failure — it tells you exactly which letters to keep.

5 Tips to Solve It in Fewer Tries

1. Start with vowel-heavy words. Openers packed with E, A, O, and common consonants like R, S, and T reveal the most information.

2. Never reuse gray letters. Every gray tile is a dead letter — guessing it again wastes a try.

3. Respect the yellows. A yellow letter must appear in your next guess, just in a different position. This wordle-style classic punishes players who forget them.

4. Think in letter patterns. English loves certain pairs — TH, CH, SH, ER. If you have T and H, try them together.

5. Use your last tries wisely. When you have four greens, list every word that fits before guessing. One careful guess beats two panicked ones.
