A popular game has been gradually taking over Twitter lately (which means it will take over everywhere): Wordle. Wordle is simple to learn, hard to play and addictive, and there isn't much information about it online. But this article has the answer to everything you are looking for! What is Wordle? How do you play Wordle? Where can you download Wordle? Is there a Turkish Wordle? Welcome to the article where we answer all these questions and more. Enjoy!
What Is Wordle?
Wordle is a word game that is really easy to learn but hard to play well. In Wordle, where we try to guess 5-letter words starting from zero within 6 guesses, the game language is unfortunately English, but that shouldn't be a problem for you, since the words are usually quite easy.
Besides being an English game, Wordle, which has been out for about 7-8 months, started becoming popular online as of last week. The reason for this sudden surge is not known yet :) We can describe Wordle, which is addictive for many users, as a kind of daily interactive puzzle. We are sure this game will have more of an effect on people in the coming days.
How Do You Play Wordle?
Click here for Wordle starting words and tactics.
- At the start, type any meaningful 5-letter word. If your word is meaningless, the game will not accept it.
- Each time a word is typed, various hints will appear. Letters that are in the word but in the wrong place are shown in yellow, and letters in the right place in the word are shown in green. If a letter appears gray, it means the 5-letter word we are trying to find has none of that letter.
- Use these hints to try to guess the word. You have 6 guesses in total. If you can't complete Wordle in 6 guesses, you lose the game. Whether you win or lose, a new puzzle arrives once every 24 hours, so unfortunately you have to wait until the next one arrives :(
- Users post their game results on Twitter. For example, when a post made with gray, yellow and green squares says 4/6 underneath, it shows they got the word on their 4th guess.
In Wordle, where a new puzzle arrives every day, compete with other people by trying to solve the day's puzzle faster than they do!
To give an example:
- On the first guess: In the 5-letter word you see below, the user learned from the word they typed that the 1st and 3rd letters are in the word, but did not find the correct places of those letters.
- On the second guess: The user also got the positions of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th letters right in the word they typed. Only finding the last 2 letters remained to beat Wordle.
- On the third guess: Taking advantage of knowing the places of all 3 middle letters, the user got the word right.
Where Can You Play Wordle?
To play Wordle, DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING. Many knockoffs of this game have appeared on the Play Store and App Store, and some of this software may be malicious. Instead, you can open the game easily online by clicking this link. Don't be late to the fun, and give this nice puzzle game a try!
Is There a Turkish Version of Wordle?
Yes, there is one. Although not part of the original game itself, there are also Turkish sites with a Turkish language option that copy the Wordle system exactly. For example, through this link you can enter the Turkish version of Wordle and have the same experience in Turkish instead of English! We wish the puzzles came every 1 hour instead of every 24 hours in both!
