Let's Play "Wordle"! A daily Word game
Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2022 5:05 pm
Wordle, Josh Wardle’s stimulating and wildly popular daily word game, is joining The New York Times’s portfolio of original, engaging puzzle games that delight and challenge solvers every day.
Since Josh Wardle, a software engineer in Brooklyn, released the guessing game to the public in October 2021, Wordle exploded in popularity and has rapidly become a daily obsession for solvers. 90 people played the game on November 1. Nearly two months later, 300,000 people played it. Now, the puzzle has millions of daily players.
The free online word game presents players with a mystery five-letter word to figure out each day.
Guesses at the ‘Wordle’ of the day have to be five letters in length and only six attempts can be made in total.
Once you’ve entered your first five letter word, hit the enter button to submit.
You will then see each letter on its tile turn to either grey, yellow or green.
If a tile turns yellow, this means that its particular letter is included in the mystery word of the day and if it turns green, the letter is included in the final word and also in the right place.
Letters on tiles which are greyed out mean that these are not included in the wordle – leaving you to figure out what the wordle is based on which letters in your previous attempt were completely correct (green) or almost right (yellow).
But British players, along with those who opt for British rather than American spellings of certain words, should be mindful of the slight differences that can occur between US and British English spellings when making their attempts to guess each daily word on Wordle.
And once you’ve tried Wordle once for the day, you won’t get to have another go.
Unlike the majority of games we’re used to playing today, which can become incredibly addictive and limitless in the pursuit to winning or finishing, Wordle can only be played once per day – with users having to patiently wait until the following day to try and guess the new word of the day in fewer attempts.
