Wordle
Guess one five-letter word in six tries. Each guess marks letters as placed, present, or absent.
DleBox's guide
Wordle is the New York Times daily in which the whole puzzle is a single English word of five letters. You type a real guess, not a string of random letters the grid will refuse, and the row comes back colored. Green is the right letter in the right place. Yellow is a letter that belongs in the word but not in that cell. Gray is a letter the word is not using, with the familiar exception when the word contains fewer copies of a letter than you typed.
There is one shared puzzle for the day. A friend who already played sees the same answer you do, which is why the colored grid works as a conversation. Hard mode, if you switch it on, makes you keep using letters the puzzle has already confirmed. The share result is a stack of squares and a puzzle number. DleBox does not store a streak and does not run the grid.
This page is a directory entry. The button opens the Times. We do not publish the day's word, yesterday's word, or a solver. If the Times changes access, the original page is the one that shows it. Other NYT puzzles on this list, such as Connections and the Mini, are separate dailies with their own rules.
Rules
- The answer is one five-letter word.
- You have six guesses.
- Green, yellow, and gray describe place, presence, and absence.
- Everyone shares that day's puzzle.
- DleBox does not reveal the word.
Why we like it
- ✓ A round is short enough to finish while a page loads.
- ✓ The share grid can be read without opening the game.
- ✓ It is the puzzle the rest of this catalog is compared with.
People land here after a screenshot, or because they want the five-letter game rather than a country, a film still, or a song clip. If you want a round you can replay on this site after the first finish, that game is Krillion. It asks for a name that fits a prompt, and rarity changes the score. It is not a hidden five-letter word.
A streak on the Times site belongs to that site. DleBox does not import it, and a screenshot of your grid is not something we store. If you open Wordle after reading this page, you are leaving for the original puzzle. Come back here when you want a different daily, not a second copy of the five-letter word. The catalog is the reason this page exists. The grid is not on it.
About the game
