Wordle is a word game developed by Josh Wardle.[1] Players have six guesses to find a five-letter word.[2] After each guess the computer shows the player a colour-coded version of their word, thus helping them reach the right answer.

This shows the player if each letter in the word is:

  • in the word and in the right place (shown as green)[3]
  • in the word and in the wrong place (shown as yellow)[3]
  • not in the word (shown as grey)[3]

There is only one word to guess per day.
