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 fewer. 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 spot.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
STALE was a pretty good opening guess, leaving me with just 60 words and landing me a green ‘A’ in the process. I still chose all new letters with CHOIR, and good thing, too. Only one word remained: WHARF for the win!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
“Wharf” comes from Old English hwearf or a related Germanic root meaning “bank, shore, or place for loading and unloading.” It originally referred to a riverside or seashore landing place and later to the built structure extending along or into the water for ships.
