WHAT IS A WORD?
Wordle is deceptively simple; you have six chances to guess the five letter word.
After each guess, each letter will turn green, yellow, or gray, meaning:
Green: correct letter, correct place
Yellow: correct letter, incorrect place
Grey: wrong letter
You can then use these hints for your next guess.

Wordle Hard Mode can be enabled through the settings, which can be found by tapping or clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Activating it essentially means that players cannot insert a word with a completely different set of letters to reveal more letters.
If any green or yellow letters come up, they will need to be chosen on the next guess.
This is a tactic that many Wordle players are already using and can really make the game easier to play.
On Twitter, one user said: “I think I really got better at Wordle since I switched to hard mode?
“Is anyone else convinced that this is true? Maybe some of the strategies I gave up actually got in the way.”
Another added: “I’m torn between wanting to turn off Wordle’s ‘hard’ mode because it’s actually much easier than normal mode and therefore less satisfying, and the fact that I enjoy winning.”
And one joked: “I just found out that Wordle has a hard mode. So you’re saying that I fought for my life on the simplified version?!
On Twitter, many users have claimed that playing with Hard Mode enabled actually makes the game easier.
Wordle was created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle for his friend Palak Shah who loves word puzzles.
At the beginning of November, the simple game had only 90 players; now it is said that there are at least 300,000 of them a day.
Due to its success, Wardle sold his creation to The New York Times in late January for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.
The switch to the NYT platform caused an uproar among players who found their winning streaks reset and said the words were getting harder.
The New York Times said, “We update the word list over time to remove obscure words to make the puzzle accessible to more people, as well as insensitive or offensive words.”
“In order to ensure that your game is in sync with the updated version, you should update the website where you play Wordle.
“We have not made any changes to the basic functionality or rules of the game. We’re committed to continuing to do what makes the game great.”
NO ONE LIKE SPOILSPORT! TWITTER BAN ACCOUNT FOR THE BOT THAT REPLIED “WORDLE” TO MILLIONS OF THIRTY PLAYERS
In January, Twitter suspended the account of a bot that was messing with the solution to Wordle, a hugely popular online word puzzle.
The Twitter profile, who referred to himself as “The Wordlinator” (@wordlinator), seemed determined to ruin the fun of players posting their scores.
The person behind this account is believed to have found the winning words just by looking at the source code of the Wordle web page.
The sneaky “Wordlinator” automatically responded to accounts posting their Wordle scores with the message, “Guess what. People don’t care about your mediocre linguistic escapades. To teach you a lesson, tomorrow’s word will be…” followed by the next day’s answer.
One Wordle fan on Twitter said, “What kind of sick, twisted person do you have to be to hate the sight of people enjoying a harmless activity so much that you hack Wordle?”
Another Twitter user said, “It’s amazing how quickly Twitter can respond to important issues.”
