Wordle is a fun word game that sharpens your mind. You have to guess a 5-letter English word in 6 attempts or fewer.

But After each guess, you will get clues:

Green means the letter is right and in the right place

Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place

Gray means the letter is not in the word at all

Wordle is played by millions of people every day. It was first made by Josh Wardle and later bought by The New York Times. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day, which makes it fun to share.
