How To Play Wordle
This daily word game requires players to guess the 5-letter word of the day, whereupon each guess, a correct letter is made known when it is highlighted in green or yellow. Green signifies that the letter exists in the word and is in the correct position while yellow means that the letter exists in the word but is not in its right position. Letters in grey on the other hand, do not make up the word of the day.
To up the challenge, players can enable Hard Mode by clicking the 'Settings' icon. In this mode, players have to use the letters that are hinted to be in the word in their next guesses.
Players can make a total amount of 6 guesses to get the right word. If the word is guessed right in one to three guesses, Wordle players would usually take to the internet to showcase this achievement. In contrast, some have also shared their performance when they've found it to be particularly difficult. You can do this by clicking 'See Results' and then, 'Share'. If players are logged in to their New York Times account, the game keeps track of their performances and the streak that has been maintained.
