Guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries. Colour-coded hints, repeated letters marked correctly, and a live count of the answers that still fit your clues
Initializing in your browser…
Word guessing game with 1,470 checked words across 8 categories, four difficulty bands, five modes, SVG animation and hints
Tic-tac-toe against a minimax opponent, or a friend on the same device. Four difficulty levels, each a stated rate of playing a move that is not the best; on Impossible it cannot be beaten, proved by walking all 16,752 games.
Slide tiles to combine them and reach 2048. Each tile merges at most once per move, checked exhaustively against the rule, and the board total printed under the grid always equals everything ever spawned. Undo, touch controls and score tracking.
Your opening guess "CRANE" comes back with one present letter and the rest absent.
Guess + feedback
C R A N E → A is 🟨 (present, wrong spot), C R N E ⬛ absent
Next move
Pick a word reusing none of C/R/N/E, placing A in a new position, e.g. "PLAID"
Early guesses should maximise information, not chase the answer: a high-vowel, high-frequency opener like CRANE partitions the word space well, and the optimal follow-up tests entirely new letters rather than wasting slots on known-absent ones. The counter under the board turns that into a number by showing how many of the 2,332 answers still fit every clue. Repeated letters are coloured in two passes, greens first and then yellows from whatever the answer has left, so guessing two Ns when the answer holds one colours the first and greys the second.
Guess the five-letter word in six tries. After each guess, colored tiles show how close you are: green means right letter, right spot; yellow means right letter, wrong spot; gray means the letter is not in the word. It is a daily ritual for millions, and this version lets you play as many rounds as you want.
Start each day with a word puzzle to warm up your thinking.
You will encounter words you have never considered and learn new ones regularly.
Share your colored grid with friends and compare how many guesses it took.
Non-native English speakers use Wordle to build familiarity with common five-letter words.
Strategic first guesses that cover common letters (like CRANE or SLATE) maximize the information you get early. From there, each guess should eliminate as many possibilities as possible, and this version shows you exactly how many of its 2,332 answers still fit every clue you have been given, so "eliminate possibilities" is a number rather than a feeling. Two details decide whether a Wordle clone is right. Repeated letters are marked in two passes: greens first, then yellows from whatever the answer has left, so guessing two Ns when the answer holds one colours the first and greys the second. And the guess dictionary has to be even: this one is the answer words plus every five-letter entry of Webster's Second New International, 8,677 words in all, so ordinary words are accepted right across the alphabet.
Words with common letters and no repeats work best. CRANE, SLATE, and AUDIO are popular choices.

Not as answers. The 2,332 answers are common English words. The GUESS list is much larger (8,677 words, the answers plus every five-letter entry of Webster's Second New International), because a guess list that refuses ordinary words is worse than one that accepts a few odd ones.
Greens are taken first, then yellows from whatever the answer has left, working from the left. Guess BOBBY against the answer ABBEY: the B at position three is green, the answer has one B left, so the first B is yellow and the last one is grey. A version that just asks "does the answer contain this letter" would colour all three.
It is how many of the 2,332 answers are still consistent with every clue you have been shown. It is also a check on the game: if the colouring were wrong it would eliminate the real answer and this count would fall to zero on a puzzle you can still solve.
