What is Worlde?

Josh Wardle created a prototype for Wordle in 2013, but his friends found the game uninteresting. He programmed a refined version of the game in 2018, whose players were limited to Wardle, his partner, and a few close friends.

Two years later, when the pandemic confined people to their homes, the game saw a significant rise in its playerbase. The game completely blew up on the internet in January 2022, after the addition of a share feature.

The game is based on simple rules, and players have to guess a five-letter word within six chances. The first word has to be a wild guess, after which the game provides certain clues. Every time a word is entered into the grid, the tiles underneath change in color to either green, yellow, or gray.

• Green means the letter is placed at the correct spot in the word.
• Yellow means the letter is in the word but has been placed incorrectly.
• Gray means the letter does not appear in the word.

Keep following these clues and try to guess the answer of the day. The answers are usually easy to guess, but readers can always search for clues and hints.
