How to Play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word game where you have six tries to guess a hidden five-letter word. After each guess, the tiles change color to show how close you were.
- Green — the letter is correct and in the right spot.
- Yellow — the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.
- Gray — the letter is not in the word at all.
A strong opening word uses common letters and multiple vowels — try CRANE, SLATE, or RAISE. On Funzzle you can play a new puzzle every day, completely free and with no account required.
