Wordle is a popular word puzzle where players try to guess a five-letter word in six tries. The game was created by Josh Wardle and became very popular after The New York Times took it over in 2022.

Players start by guessing any five-letter word. After each guess, the game gives clues:

Green means the letter is right and in the right place.

Yellow means the letter is right but in the wrong place.

Gray means the letter is not in the word.

The New York Times’ Wordle editor, Tracy Bennett, says any starter word is okay, but after looking at many games, the word “trace” is a good choice to start with.

You can play Wordle for free, but if you want to save your scores and see more analysis, you need a subscription.
