Play Wordle Online – Rules and Gameplay

Wordle is a simple but clever word puzzle. You do not need any special skills beyond basic English vocabulary, but you do need logic, deduction and a bit of intuition. Here is how the game works:

How to Play Wordle

• Start with any five-letter word: Type a valid English word and submit your guess.
• Check the colour clues: After each guess, tiles change colour to show how close you are: green means correct letter in the correct position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different spot, and grey means the letter is not in the word.
• Use up to six tries: You have six attempts to discover the hidden word by using the feedback from previous guesses.
• Avoid random guessing: Choose words that test many different letters early on, then narrow down your options using the colour hints.
• Win by finding the word: If you guess the correct word within six tries, you win the round. If not, you will see the solution and can start a new puzzle.

By playing regularly, you will start to recognise common letter patterns, prefixes and endings, which makes you faster and more accurate over time.
