Here are some recent Wordle solutions:

Wordle shows 5 boxes in 6 columns each day.

You want to start with a strong word like ALERT, which contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters; pressing Enter will display the correct or incorrect answer in the box. If the box goes to ⬛️, that means the letter is not in the secret word at all. A 🟨 means the letter is in the word but not in that position. 🟩 means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time, as a complement to the first, uses another "good" word to cover the common letter missed the last time and at the same time tries to avoid the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer.

Then it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try six times in all, and you can only use actual words (so you can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters may be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who liked word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has spawned a slew of Wordle-like games, focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography; it wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. Indeed, it would only be a matter of time before we would be communicating solely through tricolored boxes.
