How Does Wordle Work?
Wordle is a word-guessing game akin to Wheel of Fortune where you lay out words that may or may not fit in the allotted spaces. You have six guesses, but you are given deductive hints throughout.
Your word will be highlighted in three different color boxes.
- If the word you wrote has letters in green boxes, that means those letters exist in the word of the day and are in the correct position.
- Letters in yellow mean you guessed them right, but they are used elsewhere in the word.
- Letters in grey mean that they do not exist in the correct word.
The optimal strategy is to always open up with your first two guesses that have a lot of vowels. Then, you’d ideally want to rule out letters that you have not previously used, making it easier to deduce what the word will be, given the pool of letters left. You should also note that you cannot simply put in random gibberish to rule anything out. Every answer has to exist in the English language.
You can play Wordle for free on a smartphone or PC via the New York Times.
