Wordle is a free online game where we take a moment to guess a five-letter word and, if such is our whim, show off our accomplishment on social media.
Wordle Description
Wordle is an online word guessing puzzle game. The title began life as a personal project of Josh Wardle, a technical engineer from Brooklyn. The American prepared Wordle as a gift for his wife, who liked puzzles. She liked the game so much that the couple soon shared it with relatives, and mMany months later Wardle made Wordle
available for free on his website. Wardle developed also two other small productions: The Button and Place.
Game mechanics
The gameplay in Wordle is very simple. Once a day we try to guess a five-letter word chosen by the game. Each time we have only six chances to enter the right word.
However, we do not guess completely blindly. At each attempt, the game marks every letter. The black letters do not appear in the solution of the puzzle, yellow letters are in the wrong place, and green letters are spelled correctly. So by trial and error you can deduce the word you need.
Technical aspects
Wordle is available only on the official website, but the creator has prepared it with both computers and mobile devices in mind. The website allows you to type words using either a virtual or a physical keyboard. The game also allows you to share your results on social media without giving your solution. Friends can only see a graphic with squares corresponding to our attempts.
