Wordle has quickly become one of the most popular viral games in history, with people from all over the world competing to guess the daily five-letter word in as few attempts as possible. But the game is not as simple as it seems — there’s actually a lot of strategy involved. The game requires players to use clues to find the correct word, and it’s important to consider your placement of letters. The word can be found by entering any four to 11 letter words into the grid, and the letters will be highlighted in three different colors depending on their location. Gray means the letters aren’t in the word at all, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and green indicates the word is correctly placed.
After you enter your first word, the colored tiles will change to show how accurate your guess was. If the letter is green, it means that it is in the hidden word. If it is yellow, it means the letter is in the hidden word but in the wrong place. And if it is gray, it means you are not close to getting the answer.
The game was crafted by computer programmer Josh Wardle, who created it as a fun project for his partner, who is an avid word game player. He tells the New York Times that he didn’t anticipate the game’s popularity, but it has exploded like wildfire since it launched this past fall. The game is available to play online, and players can compete with others by comparing their scores. play today’s wordle
