How Does Wordle Work?

Wordle is a popular word-guessing game acquired by the New York Times. You have to guess a five-letter word which will then be judged to see how accurate you are in getting the actual word the game is looking for.

When you guess a word, each letter will be highlighted in three different colors. If you get grey letters, that means that those will not appear in the word of the day. Letters in yellow means that you got the correct letters, but are not in the right positioning for the word. Letters in green mean you got the letter correct and in the right position.

The optimal way to play is to use your first two guesses to rule out all vowels. Using starting words like AUDIO, PIOUS, or ADIEU are popular choices. These examples specifically rule out 4 of the 5 typical vowels used in the English alphabet. From there, you want to try not to use letters that were greyed out.

You also cannot use random gibberish to weed out the more unique letters like Q,X, and Z. The words you put in actually have to exist. If you feel this game might not be your cup of tea, there are several other Wordle alternatives out there ranging from hobbyist guessing niches and more.

You can play Wordle now on a smartphone or a PC via the New York Times’ website.
