NYT Wordle - A 5-Letter Word & 6 Chances Daily

Created launched in late 2021, NYT Wordle quickly exploded into a global word puzzle phenomenon thanks to its captivating simplicity.

With a basic yet elegant design, the Wordle game challenges your mind daily: find a mysterious 5-letter word. A feature that creates Wordle's intense appeal is unlimited play, creating a satisfying word-guessing arena where millions of players around the world can join in and experience it anytime.

This 'unlimited play' aspect has cleverly built its special appeal, transforming Wordle into a favored positive mental habit.

The puzzle never repeats. Each guess is a completely new word. This helps stimulate the brain, and players are the deciding factor whether to continue or stop their guessing.

What's more, the success of guessing the correct word brings joy and a "positive psychological reaction", prompting players to continue exploring language.

As a result, Wordle has become the ideal way to begin your day or for quick brain training, bringing regular daily fun.

How to Play The NYT Wordle Efficiently

Best Tips for You

Improves Vocabulary

Your first guess is the most important for gathering clues. Start with a word containing common vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and the most frequent consonants (such as S, T, R, N, L). Examples of good starting words include: 'ARISE', 'CRANE', 'TRAIN',...

Accessible & Free

Each subsequent guess should make the most of the information from previous turns. Don't guess randomly! Use the Green letters as 'anchors', rearrange the Yellow letters, and absolutely do not use the Gray letters.

Boosts Critical Thinking

Consider consonant clusters (such as CH, SH, TH, CR, PL...) and common word endings (such as -ER, -ING, -ED, -LY...). This can help you deduce possible letter combinations.

Quick & Fun Brain Exercise

Sometimes, you might guess a word just to test positions for Yellow letters or to eliminate more common letters, even if you don't think it's the final answer.

No Time Pressure

Sometimes, especially on your 2nd or 3rd guess, you might guess a word that isn't necessarily the answer you're thinking of, but is intended to test other common letters you haven't checked. For example, try CLOUT if your first guess was ARISE. Or test potential positions for Yellow letters. The aim is to gain more color feedback, which helps guide your subsequent guesses more effectively.

Social & Shareable

Don't forget that the target word can have duplicate letters (e.g., APPLE, BLISS, CHEER). If you get Yellow or Green feedback for a letter, but it seems you've tried all other positions without success, consider the possibility that the letter appears twice.

How Can I Share My Wordle Results?

After completing the daily puzzle (win or lose), the game will display a results screen with a 'Share' button. When you press this button, a grid of colors (representing your guessing process without revealing the word) will be copied to your clipboard, and you can then paste it into messages or on social media.

What Kind Of Word Is The Target Word In Wordle?

The target word is always a meaningful 5-letter English word. The words used are typically common ones and do not include proper nouns, place names, or overly rare words.

What Do The Colored Tiles In The Shared Results Mean?

The purpose of the colored grid when you share your Wordle results is to show everyone the process you went through step-by-step to solve the puzzle, without revealing the actual secret word.
Each row of colors corresponds to one of your word guesses, and each colored tile in that row indicates the accuracy of the letter in the corresponding position for that guess.
Here is the detailed meaning of each color, along with an illustrative example:
🟩 Green Tile: When you see a green tile, you know for certain that the letter in that position is the correct letter for the secret word AND it is in the CORRECT POSITION. When you see a green tile, you know for sure that the letter is correct in that position and must keep it for subsequent guesses (especially in Hard Mode).
🟨 Yellow Tile: The letter you guessed in this position is present in the secret word, but it is in the WRONG POSITION for this guess. This tells you that the letter is part of the secret word, but you need to move it to a different position in later guesses.
⬜ Gray Tile: The letter you guessed in this position is completely NOT in the secret word. You can eliminate this letter and should not use it in subsequent guesses.

What If I Type A Word That Isn't Valid?

Wordle checks if the word you entered is valid based on its dictionary. If the word isn't recognized or isn't in the list of acceptable words, the game will not allow you to submit that guess and usually displays a message.

Can I Play Past Wordle Puzzles?

On the official NYT Wordle website, you can only play the current day's puzzle. However, there are unofficial, community-created websites or archive tools that allow you to access and replay Wordle puzzles from previous days.

Why Isn't The Wordle Page Loading, Or Is It Having Problems?

This can be due to several reasons, including internet connection issues, browser errors, or sometimes temporary problems with the NYT's servers. Make sure your browser is updated and try reloading the page. If the problem persists, you can try clearing your browser's cache and cookies.

Why Does A Word I Entered Say "Not Found" Even Though I Think It's A Valid Word?

This can happen if the word is not in the list of words that Wordle accepts as valid guesses, even if it is a real English word. Wordle's word list is fixed.

Where Are My Statistics And Streak Data Stored?

This data is usually stored locally in your browser. This means that if you clear your browser data or play on a different device or browser, your statistics and streak may be lost or not synchronized.
