Wordle

Game Introduction

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game that challenges you to guess a five-letter word in a maximum of six attempts. Each guess provides a color-coded feedback. Grey for incorrect letters, yellow for misplaced ones, and green for correct placements. Josh Wardle created this game as a personal gift to his word game fan girlfriend. And the game unexpectedly took over the internet, becoming a part of morning routines, Twitter, Facebook, WP group chats, and even friendly rivalries. You may be wondering what's the hype about (like me in three years ago). So here on this page, I'll do my best to explain Wordle's rules, scientific strategies, and my personal story on how I first stumbled upon Wordle.

How to Play

1. Guess a five-letter word to start. You have max six guesses. So think carefully before submitting. Random words are not allowed. They should be valid five letter words.
2. The game gives you color-coded feedback after submitting a valid word.
3. Gray: Letter is not in the word.
4. Yellow: Letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
5. Green: Letter is in the correct position.
6. Use the clues to refine your guesses within six attempts. First, focus on finding more and more letters, it doesn't matter if it's green or yellow. Then, focus on the letters' positions and find the word.
7. If you solve it, great! If not, the game reveals the answer at the end.
