How Wordle works

Wordle is a vocabulary game in which players get six tries to guess a five-letter word. Once you enter a guess, individual letters within the word you entered will appear in different colors. Each color has a different meaning.

• Green: The letter entered is 100% correct — the right letter in the right space.
• Yellow: The entered letter is in the correct word, but you’ve placed it in the wrong space.
• Gray: The entered letter is not used in the answer.

The goal is to guess the correct word in as few attempts as possible. If you don’t get the answer in six guesses, you lose.
