How to Play Wordler

Wordler is a brain-teasing challenge where your mission is to guess a 5-letter word within six attempts. It’s simple to start but takes a sharp mind and a bit of strategy to master. Begin by typing any 5-letter word as your first guess—it’s a complete shot in the dark, so don’t overthink it. Once you submit, the game will provide colorful feedback: green highlights mean the letter is in the word, and the correct position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and gray means the letter doesn't appear in the word at all.

The real fun begins as you analyze the feedback and refine your guesses. Early on, it’s wise to test words with plenty of vowels—like "audio" or "arise"—to nail down essential letters so you can get your vowels out of the way. Throw in commonly used consonants like S, T, R, or L to uncover more possibilities. Each guess should help you build a clearer picture of the mystery word. If you’re stumped, the game allows you to ask for a hint, revealing a single letter in its correct position to help you out.

The pressure mounts with every attempt, but take your time; this game has no timer. Six tries might seem generous, but you will find yourself staring blankly at the screen at some point or another, trying to juggle logic, deduction, and creativity.

Nail the word on your first guess, and you’re pretty much a rock star. Luckily, you can't waste guesses repeating gray letters—as they can't be chosen once eliminated. Carefully observe the colorful feedback after each submission and use it as your guiding light. Remember, the same letter can appear in multiple places in the word.

Whether you win by a landslide or stumble your way to victory in the final moments, Wordler will keep you hooked, test your word skills, and you may find yourself continuing to click—"Next Word" over and over again!
