Here’s how to play

Wordle is a game in which you have six chances to guess a five-letter word. With each guess, you are given clues to help you with your next guess. Any letter that is highlighted in gray is a letter that is not in the word. Any letter that is highlighted in yellow is a letter that is in the word but not in the correct spot. Any letter that is highlighted in green is a letter that is in the word and is in the correct spot.

Simple enough, right? Every day Wordle generates a new word and a new chance to see if you can guess the correct word. I tried out the game for myself and was able to get the correct word in three tries (not to brag).
