How to set sail with Wordle
You can play Wordle here on the New York Times website. A new puzzle becomes available every day at midnight, in your local time.
Start the game by entering a five-letter word. If the letters match the hidden word, they'll turn green. If the letter is in the word but in the wrong place, they'll turn yellow. If the letter isn't in the day's secret word at all, it'll remain gray. Check out our guide on playing Wordle, strategy guide, and more details in the post below for additional tips.

A brief introduction to Wordle fundamental concepts
The objective of Wordle is to guess the secret word for the day. Once you open the game, you'll see an empty grid of letters. Your goal is to input the first word, utilizing the shapes that appear to gather clues about the word.
- If a letter is green, you correctly guessed it and it's in the right place.
- If a letter turns yellow, the letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the position you specified.
- If a letter remains gray, the letter is not in the solution word at all.
With each guess, use the colors to gather hints about the word and make your subsequent guesses more informed. You have six chances before the game ends.
The cream of the crop: optimal first words for Wordle
What word should you use for your first guess? A great starter usually contains common letters, increasing the chances of getting yellow and green squares for guidance. If your initial guess results in all grays, this helps narrow down the possibilities. The New York Times's Wordle analysis bot suggests starting with one of these:
- CRANE
- TRACE
- SLANT
- CRATE
- CARTE
An MIT analysis found that you will eliminate the most possibilities in the first round with these starting words:
- SALET
- REAST
- TRACE
- CRATE
- SLATE
Other good choices might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO have more vowels, but considering focusing on consonants for the initial word can be advantageous, like with RENTS or CLAMP. Decide on your strategy and see how it plays out.

Our advanced guide explores a three-pronged approach aimed at fishing for hints while boosting your chances of winning quickly.
The key difference between Wordle winners and Wordle losers is that winners use their guesses to gather information about the letters within the word. If you know the word must end with -OUND, avoid wasting guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND. Instead, opt for a word like MARSH, as this will save valuable attempts.
One final tip: the original Wordle utilized a list of roughly 2,300 solution words, but after the game was acquired by the NYT, the game now has an editor who personally picks the solutions. Sometimes they are challenging words that wouldn't have made the original list, and sometimes they are topical. Be prepared for a theme.
Wordle alternatives for enthusiasts
If you can't get enough of five-letter games and their kin, the best Wordle alternatives, ranked by difficulty, include:
- Wheeldle, which allows you to play several puzzles in a row
- Dordle and Quordle, which require you to solve two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles simultaneously with the same guesses. Additionally, there are Octordle (eight puzzles) and Sedecordle (16 puzzles) available.
- Waffle, which shows you several five-letter words, scrambled in a grid, and challenges you to swap the letters around to solve them.
- Absurdle, where the solution changes after each guess but must adhere to its previous feedback. Your goal is to strategically maneuver the game into a corner with only one possible word left.
- Squabble, in which you play Wordle against other people with a timer running. You suffer damage if you spend too much time between guesses, and the last player standing wins.
- Antiwordle, in which your objective is not to guess the day's solution, but to reuse any letters that you incorrectly guessed correctly. The longer it takes you, the better you do at the game.
