Įach daily game uses a word from a randomly ordered list of 2,309 words (out of the approximate 13,000 five-letter words in the English language). The gameplay is also similar to the two-player board game Mastermind-which had a word-guessing variant Word Mastermind -and the game Bulls and Cows, with the exception that Wordle confirms the specific letters that are correct. Ĭonceptually and stylistically, the game is similar to the 1955 pen-and-paper game Jotto and to the game show franchise Lingo. The game also has a dark theme as well as a high-contrast theme for colorblind accessibility, which changes the color scheme from green and yellow to orange and blue. The game has a "hard mode" option, which requires players to include letters marked as green and yellow in subsequent guesses. Multiple instances of the same letter in a guess, such as the "o"s in "robot", will be colored green or yellow only if the letter also appears multiple times in the answer otherwise, excess repeating letters will be colored gray. After every guess, each letter is marked as either green, yellow or gray: green indicates that letter is correct and in the correct position, yellow means it is in the answer but not in the right position, while gray indicates it is not in the answer at all. The emoji grid copied by sharing the result from the Wordle game.Įvery day, a five-letter word is chosen which players aim to guess within six tries.
The game was purchased by The New York Times Company in January 2022 for an undisclosed seven-figure sum, with plans to keep it free for all players it was moved to the company's website in February 2022. Many clones and variations of the game were also created, as were versions in languages besides English. The game gained popularity in December 2021 after Wardle added the ability for players to copy their daily results as emoji squares, which were widely shared on Twitter. Wardle created the game for himself and his partner to play, eventually making it public in October 2021. Wordle has a single daily solution, with all players attempting to guess the same word. The mechanics are nearly identical to the 1955 pen-and-paper game Jotto and the television game show franchise Lingo.
Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, with feedback given for each guess in the form of colored tiles indicating when letters match or occupy the correct position. Wordle is a web-based word game created and developed by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle and owned and published by the New York Times Company since 2022.
