How to play Wordle
- Enter a valid five-letter word and press Enter to submit it.
- Use the colored tiles to plan the next guess: green confirms a position, while yellow places a letter elsewhere in the answer.
- Find the daily word within six guesses. If Hard mode is enabled, carry revealed hints into subsequent guesses.
Read the clues, including repeated letters
For this invented example, the answer is APPLE. Showing it upfront lets you check how each guess earns its colors.
- Guess 1Known: A _ _ _ _ · Elsewhere: L, E (only 1 L)
A is in place. One L belongs elsewhere, but the second L is gray: the answer only has one. E also belongs in a different position.
- Guess 2Known: A _ P L E · M ruled out
P, L and E now join A in their correct positions. M is absent, so the second letter still needs to change.
- Guess 3Solved: A P P L E (2nd P tested & confirmed)
All five positions match. This is one example route, not the only way to reach the answer.
Viewing all 3 example guesses. Notice how Guess 1 locks A and caps L at one copy, while Guess 3 tests a repeated P in slot 2.
Key rule: A gray second copy does not cancel an earlier yellow or green copy. Here, the feedback rules out a second L, not every L.
