How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:

• Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
• Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
• Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Wordle Bot Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.

PEACH was a strong opening guess today, leaving me with just 49 words and a green “P.” With no vowels, I tried a word that had lots, but IRONY only got me a green “Y” and left me with six words to choose from. I tried to come up with a word that had as many letters from the words I could come up with as possible and chose FIGHT (I assumed the answer would have a “U” so I didn’t really need to use that) which left me with just one: PUFFY for the win!

Competitive Wordle Score

The Bot and I tied today which means 0 points and 0 points for guessing in four. Our May totals remain:

Erik: 7 points

Wordle Bot: 1 point

How To Play Competitive Wordle

• Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
• If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.
• Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
• You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

“Puff” is a 16th-century sound-imitating word for a burst of air. So “puffy” means swollen or expanded like a puff.
