When you tap the SHARE button on iPhone or Android, you have the option to either copy the results to the clipboard or share directly to another app on your phone (e.g. WhatsApp or Twitter).

How to play Wordle

Wordle is wonderfully simple. The aim is to guess the correct five-letter word within six attempts. After each guess, the letters of your chosen word are highlighted in green if they are in the right place, yellow if they are in the wrong place, or gray if they do not appear in the word at all.

Using these clues, you can begin to narrow down the correct word. Visit Wordle’s website and try it for yourself!


How did Wordle begin?

Wordle started as a small family game created by software developer Josh Wardle. He created the game so that he and his partner could play a fun little word game together during the pandemic, and they quickly realized that there was something very special in this simple little guessing game. After a bit of refinement, Wardle released it to the public on his website, Power Language.

The game was released in October 2021 and by the end of the year, the game had two million daily players. It became a viral hit, largely thanks to the ease with which players could share their results spoiler-free on Twitter and other social media sites. In January 2022, Wardle accepted an offer from The New York Times to acquire Wordle for a seven-figure sum. Well done, Mr Wardle. Really well done.

You You can enter any words. However, keep in mind that the actual answer will never be a rude word.

Are Wordle words not allowed?

You can type pretty much any five-letter word in the English language and Wordle will accept it as a guess. However, each day the answer is chosen from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words. Of course, there are still thousands of possible answers, but that means the answer will never be a word as unfamiliar as, say, “THIOL,” “CAIRD,” or “MALIC” (yes, those are all real words).

There are very occasionally words that The New York Times does not publish as the Word Answer of the Day, perhaps for reasons related to current news or politics. Shortly after it was announced that Roe vs. Wade might be overturned in the United States, the New York Times decided to change the March 30 word from “FETUS” to “SHINE” because it was believed that the word “Fetus” is a word that is too political in connection with recent events.

The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what it sees as rude words to serve as the answer to a Wordle puzzle. But of course, nothing stops you from using even the dirtiest words as guesses, as long as they are accepted words in the dictionary and you realize that they will never be the answer in the end.


Is Wordle getting too easy for you?

If Wordle becomes too easy, there are a few ways you can make the game more challenging for yourself. The first option is to enable Hard Mode. You can do this on the Wordle website by clicking the gear icon in the top right of the screen. In hard mode, all highlighted letters are displayed must be used in all future guesses. This stops you from using the common tactic of picking two words like “OUNCE” and “PAINS” to test all five vowels early.

You can take it a step further by playing according to the so-called “ultra-hard” rules. This means entering each estimate must may be the answer. If you’re currently playing on Hard mode and you type “MOIST” and the “O” appears yellow, then nothing would stop you from making “POLAR” the next word, even though it couldn’t possibly be the answer because you already know that the “O” is in the wrong place. If you play under the “Ultra Hard” rules, this is not allowed. You have to stick to every clue and make sure that every single word you type is potentially the answer.

If after all that, Wordle is still too easy for you, you can always try one of the many other Wordle-inspired games online that have popped up in the last year. One of our favorites is Worldle, where you have to guess a country in the world based on its shape. There’s also Waffle, which involves swapping letters in a finished grid to complete all the words; Moviedle, which shows you an entire movie in no time and challenges you to guess the movie within six tries; and Quordle, where you have to solve four words at the same time using the same guesses.
