About Wordle

Wordle is a word puzzle where you guess a hidden word in six tries, in English (five letters) or Korean (a two-syllable word spelled with six jamo). After each guess every letter is colored to tell you how close you are, and you use those clues to narrow down the answer. A round takes just a few minutes.

How to play

1. In English mode type a five-letter word; in Korean mode type a two-syllable word as six jamo (e.g. 학생 = ㅎㅏㄱㅅㅐㅇ, with compound vowels like ㅘ split into ㅗㅏ). Submit with Enter. English words not in the dictionary and Korean input that cannot form a two-syllable word are rejected.
2. Daily mode gives everyone the same word once per day and lets you share an emoji result grid when you finish; Unlimited mode keeps giving you new words.
3. Green means the letter is in the answer and in the right spot. Yellow means it is in the answer but in a different spot. Gray means it is not in the answer.
4. If a guess repeats a letter, only as many copies as the answer contains are marked green or yellow.
5. Solve it within six guesses to win; the number of guesses is recorded. If you fail, the answer is revealed.
6. A game in progress is saved, so it survives a page reload.

Tips

• Open with a word that has several vowels and common consonants, such as CRANE or SLATE.
• Drop letters that turned gray from later guesses. The on-screen keyboard keeps track of them for you.
• Do not put a yellow letter in the same spot again; try it somewhere else.
• When many candidates remain, a guess that tests several new letters at once can be worth more than a likely-but-narrow one.
