Wordle Game Rules

Objective

In Wordle, your goal is to guess a secret 5-letter word within 6 attempts. After each guess, you'll receive feedback on how close your guess was to the correct word.

Basic Rules

  • Each word you guess must be a valid 5-letter word from the game's word list.
  • After each guess, the letters will be color-coded based on their correctness:
    • Green: Correct letter in the correct position.
    • Yellow: Correct letter but in the wrong position.
    • Grey: Letter not present in the word.
  • You have 6 attempts to guess the correct word. If you fail, the game will reveal the correct word.

Keyboard

  • You can either use the on-screen keyboard or your physical keyboard to input guesses.
  • As you play, the keys on the keyboard will also change color to help you remember which letters you've already used and how they performed in your previous guesses.

Scoring

  • Your score is based on how many guesses you used. The fewer guesses, the higher your score.
  • If you guess the word on your first try, you'll receive the maximum score of 6 points.
  • If you lose, your score resets to zero.

Tips

  • Start with a word that contains common letters to maximize your chances of uncovering key letters early.
  • Pay close attention to the letter colors after each guess, and adjust your strategy accordingly.
