Wordle Rules

The basic rules of Wordle are easy to learn. You need to guess a hidden five-letter word using no more than six attempts.

Tip: Don't think of every guess as simply an attempt to solve the puzzle. A good guess should also give you useful information about the letters in the hidden word.

How to Play Wordle

Step 1: Enter a 5-Letter Word

Begin by entering any valid five-letter word. Your first guess is important because it can reveal several useful letters at once.

Step 2: Check the Tile Colors

After submitting your guess, each letter receives a color. The color tells you how that letter relates to the hidden answer.

Step 3: Use the Clues

Look carefully at the green, yellow, and gray tiles. Keep confirmed letters in their correct positions and use yellow letters in different positions. Avoid letters that have been confirmed as absent.

Step 4: Make Your Next Guess

Use the information from your previous guess to choose another five-letter word. Try to eliminate as many possible answers as you can.

Step 5: Solve the Word

Continue using the clues until you identify the hidden word. You have a maximum of six guesses.

Understanding Wordle Colors

The colored tiles are the most important part of the Wordle clue system. Understanding them correctly will help you solve puzzles much faster.

A
Green — Correct Letter and Position

The letter is in the hidden word and is in the exact position where you placed it.

B
Yellow — Correct Letter, Wrong Position

The letter appears in the hidden word, but it belongs in a different position.

C
Gray — Letter Not in the Answer

The letter does not appear in the answer, subject to the game's handling of repeated letters.

Wordle Color Example

Imagine you guessed the word "SLATE" and received different colors. Those colors would tell you which letters are useful and where they may belong.

S
L
A
T
E

Green letters are correctly positioned, yellow letters are present but misplaced, and gray letters are not in the answer.

In a real puzzle, use each result to build your next guess. A yellow letter should be moved to another position, while a green letter should normally remain where it was confirmed.

Wordle Strategy

A successful Wordle strategy combines vocabulary, logic, and information gathering. Instead of randomly guessing words, try to make every guess useful.

1

Use Common Letters

Start with a word containing frequently used vowels and consonants to test several possibilities early.

2

Look for Vowels

Finding common vowels early can significantly reduce the number of possible five-letter words.

3

Move Yellow Letters

When a letter turns yellow, remember that it belongs in the answer but cannot remain in its current position.

4

Avoid Repeating Gray Letters

If a letter has been confirmed as absent, avoid using it again unless the game's repeated-letter clues indicate otherwise.

5

Use Information Wisely

A guess can be valuable even when it does not solve the puzzle. Focus on discovering new information.

6

Think About Letter Patterns

Consider common combinations such as TH, CH, SH, ST, ER, and other familiar English word patterns.

Best 5-Letter Words to Start Wordle

Choosing a strong opening word can help you uncover useful information from your first guess. There is no single guaranteed best starting word, but words containing a good mix of common vowels and consonants can be effective.

SLATE CRANE STARE RAISE AUDIO ARISE TRACE CRATE

SLATE is one useful all-around starting choice because it tests two common vowels along with several frequently occurring consonants. However, you can experiment with different starting words and develop a strategy that suits your playing style.

When choosing a starter word, consider how much information it can reveal rather than simply choosing a word that you think looks likely to be today's answer.
