Each time you play, the game lets you know your answer. The letters are colored green if they're in use and correctly placed in the correct order, yellow when they are present but incorrectly placed as well as grey if the letters do not appear in the word target at all. Similar to the board games Battleship or Mastermind the players can make use of this information to make your next guess better as well as narrow your focus on the word that you are trying to find. (Infuriatingly this game gives no indication as to whether a letter is used more than once in the word you want to guess which is a design feature that generates online outrage when, for instance, the word "TRUSS" appears.)

As per the New York Times, Wordle was launched last year by an engineer in Brooklyn, Josh Wardle, as a gift to his partner. It quickly became a hit with his family and friends. Then its popularity steadily spread throughout the web, from 90 players on the 1st of November to over 300,000 on the 2nd of January.


The simplicity of the game is the best part. Wordle is the only game that Wordle will be every day and the same one that's available to all around the world. There aren't any advertisements as well as no irritating notifications to remind you to play each morning or to purchase new skins which to alter the appearance the letters appear, as well as no offering coupons in exchange for recommending the game to friends. With the amount of traffic it receives, the incentive to profit of Wordle's success is considerable. However, the game's rejection the capitalist system that defines so many video games today is refreshing and has a wholesome character. It is long might wordle game endure this pure.
