The basics of Wordle:
The premise of Wordle is straightforward: guess the day's secret word. When you first open the game, you'll see an empty grid of letters. It's all on you to make the first move – type in any five-letter word.
When you guess, the colors will give you clues: green indicates a correct and well-placed letter, yellow indicates a correct letter in the wrong spot, and gray signals a wrong guess altogether. Use these hints to guide your guesses, and go for six, baby! No more than six guesses, or it's game over.
Alternatives to Wordle:
If you want more five-letter word guessing games, we've got you covered. Here are some of the best Wordle alternatives, ordered by difficulty:
- Wheeldle, which lets you play one puzzle after another.
- Dordle and Quordle, which require you to solve two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at once, with the same guesses. There are also variants like Octordle (eight puzzles) and Sedecordle (16 puzzles).
- Waffle, where you move letters around in a grid to solve several five-letter words at once.
- Absurdle, where the solution changes after each guess, but must stick to its previous feedback. You'll have to cleverly manipulate the game to corner it into one solution.
- Squabble, which pits you against other players on a timer – the last person standing is the winner.
- Antiwordle, where you have to keep guessing letters you accidentally guessed correctly, so you gain an advantage the longer you play.
