What is Wordle?
Wordle is a word-guessing puzzle game created by software engineer Josh Wardle in 2021. Initially made as a gift for his partner who loved word games, it was released to the public in October 2021 and quickly became a global sensation, eventually being acquired by The New York Times in early 2022.
The concept is brilliantly straightforward: players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the game provides feedback by coloring letters: green for correct letters in the right position, yellow for correct letters in the wrong position, and gray for letters not in the word. This simple yet challenging format created a perfect mix of accessibility and intellectual stimulation that appeals to casual players and word enthusiasts alike.
How to Play Wordle
Playing Wordle is simple but requires strategy and vocabulary skills:
- Enter a five-letter word as your first guess
- Review the color-coded feedback:
- Green tiles indicate letters that are in the word and in the correct position
- Yellow tiles indicate letters that are in the word but in the wrong position
- Gray tiles indicate letters that are not in the word
- Use the feedback to make a more informed second guess
- Continue refining your guesses based on the feedback for each attempt
- Try to guess the word within six attempts
The challenge comes from using your vocabulary knowledge and deductive reasoning to narrow down the possibilities with each guess. The game ends when you correctly guess the word or use all six attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best starting word for Wordle?
Many players prefer starting with words that contain common letters, particularly vowels. Popular starting words include 'ADIEU' (four vowels), 'STARE' (common consonants and vowels), or 'ROATE' (common letters). The ideal strategy is to use a word with frequently used letters that don't repeat.
Are there any tips for improving at Wordle?
Yes! Focus on identifying vowels early, use your second guess to test completely different letters, pay attention to letter frequency in English (E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S, L are most common), and remember that words may contain repeated letters.
Is there a Wordle dictionary or word list?
Wordle uses a curated list of five-letter English words. While the official list isn't public, all answers are legitimate, recognizable English words (no obscure technical terms or extremely rare words). Our version follows similar principles.
Can I play past Wordle puzzles?
Yes! Unlike the official version which offers one puzzle per day, our unblocked version allows you to play as many puzzles as you want, making it perfect for Wordle enthusiasts who want more than one challenge daily.
How do I share my Wordle results?
Many players enjoy sharing their results using the colored square emojis to represent their guessing pattern without spoiling the answer. For example: 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ would represent one letter in the right spot, one correct letter in the wrong spot, and three incorrect letters.
