How did Wordle begin?

Wordle began life as a little family game created by software engineer Josh Wardle.

So after a bit of refinement, Wardle released it to the public on his website,Power Language.

Well done, Mr Wardle.

Are any Wordle words not allowed?

However, the answer is picked each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words.

Is Wordle getting too easy for you?

The first choice is to turn on Hard Mode.

Hard Mode means that any highlighted lettersmustbe used in all future guesses.

This means that every guess you entermustpotentially be the answer.

If you play by “Ultra-Hard” rules, that’s not allowed.

You must adhere to every clue, and verify every single word you enter is potentially the answer.
