"Wordle Is the Moment of Zen We All Need Right Now It’s free, fun, and feverishly addictive.
The gambit is simple. You have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. With each entry, Wordle lets you know if your characters are in the right place, if they’re in the wrong place, or if they don’t appear in the word at all, until the player pares down their vocabulary into a solution. (For example: You might start with “OUIJA” and move on to “HINGE,” before eventually deducing “TIGER.”) There is only one new Wordle puzzle a day, and old Wordles are not archived on the site. "
I'm going to give it a try!

Yes. It is a wonderful workout for my brain, without taking a lot of time.
eta: I got yesterday’s in 5 and just got today’s word in 4! The trick, for me, is to tryout at least 4 vowels in the first 2 words.

I hadn't heard of it. Took me all six tries to get my word. It's similar to Mastermind which I have always loved. I wish we could do more than one per day though.

Thanks for this (I think!). Got the word in 3 tries!
Is this word the same for everyone, or does it generate a new word for each user?

The developer created it for his partner, who's a fan of word puzzles, so it wasn't really intended to be commercial. It's kind of caught hold and spread like crazy, though, so I would not be surprised to see some major changes coming in the future to provide more words, etc.

I’ve never seen this before, but really enjoyed it. It feels like Mastermind to me too! And I got it in 4.

Got today's in 3. English isn't my native tongue. Silly me thought I had to start with W as it was highlighted in green thus being in the right place but it was the example...

I got off to a bad start because I thought the example applied to today's word. Silly me. I did get it in six. Fun. Would like to do more than one a day as well. Thanks for introducing me to this game zima~

I think they need to add clarification that the example isn’t today. I bet it happens to more people than not! 😂

Huh... I just looked at my result again and it has a countdown clock saying my next Wordle will be available in just under 10 minutes. The first time I played I got 2 games really close together and after that it's only been every 24hrs. Today's one must have been easy because I got it in 3 moves as well...and I had zero letters right on the first line.

I got it in 5 tries.
Is there an app, or do you just go to the link everyday?

I tried it and found it irritating. But it’s because although I have a good vocabulary, I stink at puzzles. I have no patience.

I’d never heard of it but I got today’s in 3 (which was fewer tries than it took dh).😁
Didn’t have the patience to wait the 10 minutes for the next game though.
ETA: whoops, turns out I need a lot more patience than I thought - still 8 hrs, 17 mins and 22 seconds to go🤦♀️😂

A tip: letters can be repeated. Yesterday's word was BANAL.
Any five letter word.

My daughter and I played it this morning. Got it in 4. Repeating letters will be tricky!
