How To Play Wordle And What Are Its Rules


Wordle is a daily secret word game that became an instant hit after it was launched last year. Coming during the Covid pandemic, the guessing game garnered immense popularity during the lockdowns and is still going strong with more and more users trying their luck and skills in making the right guess in six attempts every day. 


Wordle is an easy game with simple rules. You get six tries to guess the right five-letter randomly generated word. Squares containing the letter you fill in will turn green, yellow or grey, giving clues for you to know if your guesswork is right. 


The box will turn green if the letter is in the right location. A yellow box would mean you have made a right guess but the location is wrong. The box will turn grey if you make a wrong guess altogether.
