How To Play Wordle And What Are Its Rules


Wordle, essentially a guessing game, was created by US-based software engineer Josh Wardle last year. It was an instant hit, with millions getting hooked to the free-to-play puzzle in no time. The New York Times bought Wordle in January this year. It, however, did not change any feature of the game.  


The rules of the game are simple. You get six chances to guess the five-letter word of the day, which is randomly generated. Small squares containing the letter you fill in turn green, yellow or grey, giving crucial clues to let you know if you are on the right track.  


If the box turns green, it means the letter is in the right location.


A yellow box means your guess is right but the letter is not in the right place.


If the box turns grey, it means the letter is incorrect.
