Wordle - A daily word game

Computer Games
1

If you’ve been spending any time online over the last month then it’s pretty likely you’ve seen Wordle pop up.

It’s a word puzzle where you need to guess a 5 letter word within 6 guesses. Each time you guess it tells you when a letter is “not in the word” (gray), “in the word but in the wrong place” (yellow), or “in the right place” (green). If you can get all green within 6 guesses then you have beaten the day’s puzzle.

There’s one puzzle available per day, with the same word for everyone. Perfect for a 5 minute challenge in the morning, and I’ve been sharing my results with the family group chat.

Once have a go you can paste your results below with its built in share function where you can copy a little emoji pattern:

Damn you! I landed on 6. Despite a lucky start I went obscure before realising the more obvious solution.

Ah, thought the yellow (wrong place) was gold (right place). Got it now. Yes, this is going to be good.

I can’t figure out how to share a score picture on my phone.

I have seen people posting scores, but hadn’t looked at what they were actually playing. Interesting little game.

You hit the share button on the results summary.

Ah, I’ve seen these grids being tweeted and gathered that they were part of a game called Wordle, but didn’t realise they were displaying the results rather than the actual puzzle. Consequently I had no clue what people were doing with them.

Edit: Right then, first ever try at this…

Once you finish it should give you the option to Share on a green button. If you can’t see it you can refresh. You can copy the results grid from there!

Got it, but messed up the third guess by repeating an incorrect location. It’s early!

Is there any way to try the previous puzzles? I fancied another go but all I can see is a countdown to tomorrow’s.

16

I made that same mistake the first time.

17

I can’t see one. And they’re doing something that persists through cookie-clearing (perhaps IP logging).

I just noticed hard setting and thought “hang on, that’s what I’ve been doing all along!”.

Does anyone use completely different letters in each guess to exclude letters/find more yellows & greens?

19

My first two guesses didn’t overlap, which gave me three definite letters (and three places they couldn’t be).

I used too but it’s too easy to clear out the alphabet.
