How to use the clues while solving
Wordle gives players six attempts to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, its colored squares indicate how close the letters are: gray means a letter is not in the answer, yellow means it appears elsewhere in the word, and green means it is in the correct position. PC Gamer’s guide describes this format and feedback.
