How to play Wordle

Wordle gives you six tries to guess a hidden five-letter word. After each guess, the tiles change colour to tell you how close you are: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and gray means the letter isn't in the word at all. Everyone plays the same word each day.

A few tips

  • Open with vowel-rich words like ADIEU, AUDIO or RAISE to place vowels early — our stats above tell you how many vowels today's word has.
  • Watch for repeated letters. Many players forget a letter can appear twice; the header flags whether today's word repeats one.
  • Use our ladder, not the answer. Each hint above reveals a little more — the category, a synonym, the pattern — so you can still solve it yourself.
