What is Wordle and how to play it?
Wordle is a daily puzzle game where players must guess a hidden five-letter American English word in six tries or fewer. Each guess provides feedback: if green tiles appear, it means the right letter is in the right place. If you get yellow tiles, it indicates that the letter is in the word, but it’s in the wrong place. If you get grey tiles, it indicates the letter is not in the word.
In the Hard Mode, players are required to use all previously confirmed letters in subsequent guesses, which adds an extra layer of challenge.
