If you are the kind of person who loves word games and wants to play an interesting word game, then you need to play Wordle. This is a game that pushes you to be creative as you are expected to make use of the grid of letters given to you to create words.
This game rewards you with more points when you create longer words. You can choose to play against other players over the internet or you can set your time to play against the clock. When you play against the clock, you should strive to create as many words as possible before your time elapses.
You can choose any level you think suits you as provisions have been made for all skill levels.
What is Wordle?
From what we have discussed in the first part of this article, I can say that this question has been answered, but we will still provide more information about this game in a bid to make sure that this article is comprehensive.
Wordle is an everyday word game developed by Josh Wardle. The founder of this game (Josh Wardle) is a software engineer based in Brooklyn.
Every day, people on the Internet are faced with a new word problem that can only be solved – or not! and the game provides clues of a series of processes of elimination.
How does Wordle work?
If you are wondering how the Wordle game works; here’s how it works: When you visit the Wordle website, the first thing that pops up is a 5 x 6 grid of empty boxes. Each cell can contain a letter, all you need to do is choose a different letter that will form a 5-letter meaningful word and then press Enter.
There are no clues ahead, so any five-letter word can be used as a starting guess. This is where the Wordle game really begins. When you submit your guess, the cell for each letter will change colour.
- If the letter turns green then it means that the letter has been placed in the right place and it is in the daily word
- If the letter turns yellow; this means that the letter is in the daily word but you have placed it in the wrong place
- If the field is greyed out; this means that none of the letters in the daily word
- The site offers new visitors a simple explanatory graphic that shows everything clearly.

An important tip when playing Wordle
You should know that to play Wordle you need to know common words. You do need to go for difficult words – your first word should be simple and contain very common letters (do not overuse plural forms)
Try to make use of vowels more.
Choosing standard 5-letter words that match the requirements will help you start strong and will be of help in the long run. Don’t be drawn into the temptation of copying letters. If you get stuck at some points, you can visit sites that offer word lists to get yourself at the top of your game again
