The version you play on this page is a recreation built in Scratch by lucaswang750. It picks the day's word from a built-in answer list and checks your guesses against a list of more than 12,000 valid words. Type any real five-letter word, press Enter and the board talks back to you in color. That color feedback is the whole game. After each guess, every tile turns one of three colors: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else and gray means the letter isn't in the answer at all. Read those clues, weigh them against your next attempt and the field of possible answers narrows fast. What makes Wordle so sticky is how much thinking it packs into something this small. There's no story to sit through and no tutorial to grind. You open it and make a guess. Within seconds you're working on a tiny logic problem, balancing the letters you've confirmed against the ones you've ruled out and hunting for a word that fits every clue at once. Wordle rewards a good opening move and punishes a lazy one. A strong first guess loaded with common vowels and frequent consonants tends to light up more tiles and hand you more to work with. From there it turns into pure deduction: each row you spend is a question you're asking the board, and a sharp player learns to ask the questions that rule out the most words. Because a round is short and self-contained, Wordle works well as a daily mental warm-up. You can finish one on a coffee break and still feel like you used your brain. It is quick to learn and tricky to master, and that contrast is a big part of why Wordle caught on the way it did. ## What does Wordle look like in play? - [Wordle first guess CRANE with R and A marked yellow](https://ubg76.uk/game/wordle/wordle-shot-1_hu_41d3d55e87d341f8.webp): The first guess finds two letters in the wrong spots. - [Wordle board after three guesses CRANE, SOLAR and PARTY](https://ubg76.uk/game/wordle/wordle-shot-2_hu_56ba9141215e49ab.webp): Each row narrows down the letters of the hidden word. - [Wordle solved in four guesses with UMBRA in green and a You win! message](https://ubg76.uk/game/wordle/wordle-shot-3_hu_98f4d910b6ce9f38.webp): The fourth guess matches the hidden word. ## How do you play Wordle? Type a five-letter word, press Enter and use the green, yellow and gray tiles to narrow down the answer within six guesses. 1. **Make your first guess**: Type any valid five-letter word and press Enter. A strong opener uses common letters so you test a big slice of the alphabet at once. 2. **Read the colors**: Green tiles are correct and in place, yellow tiles are in the word but misplaced and gray tiles are out. Every clue trims the list of possible answers. 3. **Narrow it down**: Build your next guess around the letters you've confirmed, move the yellow ones to fresh spots and leave out everything that came back gray. 4. **Crack the word**: Keep refining row by row until the line turns all green. You have six guesses, so solving it in fewer is the real goal. ### Controls - Type a letter: Letter keys or on-screen keys - Submit your guess: Enter - Delete a letter: On-screen backspace button ## What makes Wordle fun?

Open with a word full of common letters, never reuse gray letters and move yellow letters to new spots. - **Open with vowel-heavy words.** A first guess packed with common vowels and consonants lights up more tiles and gives you more to work with. - **Don't reuse gray letters.** Once a letter turns gray, leave it out of every future guess. Repeating it just burns a turn. - **Move yellows, don't drop them.** A yellow letter is in the word, just in the wrong place. Keep it and try it in a new position. - **Watch for double letters.** Words can repeat a letter. In this version a repeated letter can show extra yellow tiles, so double-check what the clues really say. - **Spend a guess to probe.** If you've confirmed a few letters but feel stuck, use a turn on a word that tests new letters instead of locking in early. - **Say it out loud.** Sounding out the letters you've confirmed often shakes loose a word your eyes skipped right over. ## What do players ask about Wordle? ### Is Wordle free to play?
