Wordle Game: Guess the UK English Word

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the mechanics of the Wordle game?

   The main goal of the game is to guess the hidden word in 6 tries. In each line, you need to enter any word from 4 to 11 letters to find out what letters are in the target word. Depending on which word you entered, the letters will be highlighted in three colours.
   Colour marking:
   The letter isn't in the target word at all.
   The letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.
   The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.

   To win you need to completely guess the hidden word (all letters are green).

2. What is the best word to start the game?

   There isn't a single "best" word to start the Wordle game, as it depends on your strategy and the available information from previous guesses. It's essential to choose a word that helps you gather valuable feedback based on the letters' colors (green, yellow, gray) and adjust your subsequent guesses accordingly.

3. What dictionary are you using?

   In the British English edition we use a dictionary with a list of ~275,000 words, including ~1,800 words with British spelling.

4. Why did I get a "Word not found" message?

   This alert message means that the given word was not found in our word bank. Try another word, or if you think the word is correct, let us know.

5. The hidden word was incorrect. Can you fix this?

   If you think that the hidden word is wrong or incorrect, let us know. We will definitely fix this as soon as possible.

6. How to change the entered letter?

   If you want to change an incorrectly entered letter, just press the "Backspace" button, but remember that you cannot change the entered word.
