How to play Wordle
Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or less. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct place.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong place.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to limit your guesswork. Every day brings a new word and everyone around the world tries to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot, or even me, your humble storyteller. See the rules for Competitive Wordle towards the end of this post.

Bot Wordle Analysis
Every day I check the Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
STORY just popped into my head and I think it’s the first time I’ve used it as an opener. Luckily for me, it was a pretty good initial guess, leaving me with only 24 words and two green boxes. I must have had some left over from yesterday’s initial guess, FLAME, because I used it for my second guess today. While I didn’t gain any new letters, I was left with only two words I could think of: CURRY and HURRY. Of course, I went with who I would rather be. Or, well, be inside me. CARY for the win!
