Guide to Wordle

Wordle is a daily word game you can find online. It's fun, simple and, like a crossword, can only be played once a day. Every 24 hours there's a new word of the day, and it's up to you to figure it out what it is.

You have 6 tries to guess the five-letter word of the day. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess is to the word. A green tile means a letter is in the word and in the correct spot. A yellow tile means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. A gray tile means the letter is not in the word.
