How To Play Wordle And What Are Its Rules


Wordle completed a year in June 2022, and has become more challenging now. The guessing game created by US-based software engineer Josh Wardle last year was an instant hit, with players finding the brain exercise exciting. The New York Times bought the game in January 2022. 


Wordle rules are simple. You have six chances to guess the five-letter randomly-generated word, which is released every midnight. The small squares where you fill in the letters turn green, yellow or grey, suggesting if you are right.  


A green box means the letter is in the right location.


If the box turns yellow, it means your guess is right but the letter is not in the right place.


A grey box means the letter is incorrect.
