What is Wordle? Heres everything you need to know.

Wordle – a free online word game by Josh Wardle – has taken the internet by storm. Enter a five-letter word daily to get hints towards an answer; green letters represent correct positioning, yellow implies it’s within the word but misplaced, and grey shows it’s not included.

The simplicity, coupled with only giving players one try a day, has sparked mass appeal. Strategies abound, but there’s a universal thrill in sharing successes and near-misses on social media, boosting the game’s popularity and making it a daily dose of mind-flexing fun.
