Wordle is a word puzzle game in which players attempt to guess a five-letter word within six attempts. Each guess provides feedback about the correct letters in the correct positions and the correct letters in the wrong positions. The game is known for its simple interface, daily word challenges, and the social aspect of sharing results, allowing players to compare their performances without revealing the actual words. Created by Josh Wardle, Wordle became popular for its engaging mechanics and accessibility, often encouraging players to strategize based on color-coded hints from their guesses.
