How to Play

Wordle is a game where you guess words in hopes of determining the final solution. After guessing a word, hints are given based on the letters positions in your guess compared to the actual solution. These hints should be used to determine yor next guess.

Hints

The hints are color coded:

color	description
🟢	letter is in solution and in correct position
🟡	letter is in solution, but in wrong position
🔴	letter is not in solution

Example

As you can see the final solution is along. Let's walk through the example one guess at a time:

• guess #1 = rates
  • 🟡 - a is in solution, but in wrong position
  • 🔴 - r,t,e, and s are not in solution
• guess #2 = ample
  • 🟢 - a is in correct position
  • 🟡 - l is in solution, but in wrong position
  • 🔴 - m,p, and e are not in solution
• guess #3 = aloud
