How the daily Wordle-style game works
The daily Wordle-style game on PuzzlePage hides one common 5-letter English word. You have six guesses to find it. After every guess each letter tile changes color so you can deduce the answer:
- AGreen — the letter is in the answer and in the correct position. Keep it there.
- BYellow — the letter is in the answer but in a different position. Move it.
- CGray — the letter is not in the answer. Avoid it.
Every answer is a common English word — no proper nouns, no plurals ending in S, no hyphenated or compound words. The puzzle resets at 00:00 UTC each day. The same answer is shown to every visitor in the world for that calendar date.
Strategy tips for solving in fewer guesses
- Open with vowels. Words like ADIEU, AUDIO, RAISE, or ARISE pack three to four vowels into one guess, narrowing the answer fast.
- Cover frequent consonants next. S, T, R, L, N, C, D, H, M, P, and Y cover most English words. A second guess like STORY, CLOUT, or PLANT efficiently tests several at once.
- Don't waste guesses repeating gray letters. Once a letter is gray, drop it from your mental pool for the rest of the puzzle.
- Place yellow letters somewhere new. A yellow letter is in the answer but not in the column you tried. Move it on your next guess.
- Watch for double letters. When you have only one or two unknown positions, words with repeated letters (LLAMA, GEESE, ABBOT) are common traps.
- Save risky guesses for late. If you are confident in four letters by guess four, brute-force the fifth on guess five.
Today's difficulty: easy
The daily Wordle-style puzzle ships at one of three difficulties on a fixed weekly schedule. Monday and Thursday are easy days designed for quick wins and newcomers. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday are medium days that take a few minutes of careful thought. Friday and Saturday are hard days that may use less common but still familiar English words. Difficulty applies to vocabulary commonness and letter-pattern frequency — never to dictionary obscurity.
