"Wordle": This is how the game works

"Wordle" game was developed by programmer Josh Wardle from New York, who chose the name of the game as a reference to his own name.

The task is

to guess an English word with five letters

.

You have

six

attempts

.

After each attempt, the boxes change color to show which letters are or are not in the word.

The colors have the following meanings:

  • Gray

    : letter is not in the word

  • Yellow

    : The letter is in the word, but in the wrong place

  • Green

    : letter is in the right place

“Wordle”: There is only one word to guess every day

The special thing about "Wordle" is that

all players

have to find the same word and there is

only one

word to guess every day.

Those who succeed can share their results on social media without showing the letters.

As a result, there have recently been a lot of screenshots of the yellow-green-gray boxes on Twitter and Co. and more and more people are interested in "Wordle".

In addition, the game is

completely free

and can also be played

without any advertising

or

registration.

Not even an installation is necessary

, the game is played directly in the browser.

All of this makes “Wordle” extremely user-friendly and ensured that it spread so quickly.

For most German players it is of course more difficult to come up with the right word, since it is always an English word.
