Let’s help you guess it, keep that streak alive, and turn this Wednesday into a win.

What is Wordle?

Wordle is that one simple game that took over the internet and our lives. It was launched in 2021 and quickly became the go-to word puzzle for millions. Every day, there’s one five-letter mystery word. You’ve got six shots to crack it.

Created by Josh Wardle, the game became a viral hit thanks to its clever shareable emoji grid. By early 2022, The New York Times swooped in and bought it. Fast forward to 2024, and Wordle has been played 5.3 billion times. That’s not just a trend that’s a global obsession.

How Wordle Works (in case you’re new)

Type in any five-letter word and Wordle gives you clues:

  • Green = Right letter, right spot.
  • Yellow = Right letter, wrong spot.
  • Gray = Not in the word at all.

You’ve got just six tries. It sounds easy but it’s a total mind twist. Bonus tip: the answer can have repeated letters (but not today). Everyone plays the same word. And each new puzzle goes live at midnight local time.

You can play it free on the NYT website, mobile apps, Meta Quest headsets, and even Discord. Log in to your NYT account to track your stats and your oh-so-important win streak.
