How to Play Wordle

To kick things off, you need to guess any five letter word. It can be anything, as long as it’s an actual word. This is just to get some hints about what the hidden word might be, so don’t worry if your first guess isn’t perfect.

TIP - Try to choose a word with common vowels (like A, E, I, O, U) and frequently used consonants (like R, S, T, L, N). Words like “SLATE,” “CRANE,” or “REACT” are popular starting points.

Green tiles - If a letter turns green, it means that letter is in the word and in the correct position.

Yellow tiles - If a letter turns yellow, it means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position.

Gray tiles - If a letter turns gray, it means that letter is not in the word at all.

TIP - Try Wordle Answer Finder to find potential words.

After each guess, you can use the feedback from the colors to help refine your next word choice.

TIP - Focus on repositioning yellow letters while also trying to keep your green letters in place. Avoid letters that have turned gray as they are not in the word at all.

You can guess up to six times in total, so you have several chances to refine your guesses based on the feedback from each round. As you progress, try to balance eliminating letters that aren’t part of the word while getting the correct letters in their right spots.

All the letters need to turn green for you to win in Wordle.
