So you believe you’ve got Wordle all figured out? Think again. Today’s puzzle is set to challenge even the sharpest minds. If you want to keep that winning streak alive, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
And if you’re new to this addictive game, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a quick rundown.
What Is Wordle and Why Are We All Obsessed?
Wordle is the daily word game that took the internet by storm in 2021 and hasn’t let go since. One mystery five-letter word. Six tries to guess it. The same puzzle for everyone all over the world. It’s quick, clever, and kind of addictive.
Created by Josh Wardle as a fun gift for his partner, the game went viral thanks to its shareable grid results. By early 2022, The New York Times had acquired it, and the rest is history. Fast forward to 2024, and players logged an astonishing 5.3 billion Wordle attempts; that’s how big it’s gotten.
How to Play Wordle
You type in a five-letter word. If a letter is in the right spot, it glows green. If it’s in the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. And gray? That letter isn’t in the word at all. You’ve got six total guesses, and yes, letters can repeat.
Wordle is free to play on the New York Times’ site, app, Meta Quest headsets, and even Discord. The puzzle refreshes every midnight based on your local time zone. Pro tip: If you link your NYT account, you can track your wins, losses, and that precious streak.
