How Does Wordle Work?

Wordle is a word-guessing game where you are tasked to guess a five-letter word. You have six guesses, but with each guess, the game gives you hints based on the letters you used in each word.

When the entered word has letters in grey boxes, that means those letters do not exist in the word of the day. Letters in yellow boxes indicate that they exist in the word of the day, but are used elsewhere in terms of positioning. Letters in green mean they exist in the word of the day and are in the right position.
