What is Wordle?

Wordle is a straightforward yet addictive daily word game that gained popularity in 2021. The goal is simple: guess a hidden five-letter word within six attempts. Each day, the same word is used for all players worldwide.

The game skyrocketed in popularity when creator Josh Wardle introduced a feature allowing players to share their results using an emoji-based grid. This viral sharing led to countless spin-offs and clones across various platforms.

In early 2022, The New York Times acquired Wordle for an undisclosed amount. According to the publication, players collectively completed Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024, cementing its status as one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily.

How to Play Wordle

To play Wordle, start by entering any five-letter word. The game will provide feedback by highlighting letters in three colours:

- Green: The letter is correct and in the right position.

- Yellow: The letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.

- Grey: The letter is not in the word at all.

You have six attempts to guess the correct word. Even if a letter is greyed out, you can still use it to narrow down your options. Keep in mind that letters can appear more than once in the secret word.

Wordle is free to play on The New York Times website, apps, and Meta Quest headsets. The game resets at midnight local time. If you log in with a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including your win streak.

How to Play Wordle More Than Once a Day

If you have a New York Times subscription that includes full access to their games, you’re not limited to just one Wordle per day. Subscribers can access an archive of over 1,300 past Wordle puzzles, perfect for catching up or practising.

Additionally, paid members can use the Wordle Bot, a tool that analyzes your performance and provides insights into your gameplay.
