Has anyone heard of this new game?
The creator posts a new game everyday and there's no ads on the page.
Basically, you have to think up a 5 letter word and type it in. It will tell you if you got a correct letter, a correct letter in the right place, and if a letter is not used at all. You get 5 tries.
I played for the first time today and I got it in 4 tries. I would have gotten it quicker if I had realized that it told you when a letter isn't in the word.
Here's the link that explains the game, and there's a link in the article to get to the game.
Can anyone beat my 4 tries?
What is Wordle? A viral word game everyone’s playing

It took me all 5 tries, but I got it. I had never heard of this before your post

I never heard of it before, either. They did a story about it on the Today show this morning. The creator made it for his girlfriend because she likes to do crossword puzzles. He sounds like a keeper.

This sounds a lot like a game show that used to be on TV!
Where do I click to enter my guess(es?)

Thanks Grooch. Fun! I was only 1 letter off. It reminds me of Wheel of Fortune.

I got it on the 3rd try. I was concentrating on the letters that weren't in the word this time and forgot about the one letter that was in the word. Otherwise I would have gotten it on the second.
Tntitanfan, you just type the letters then hit the enter button on the bottom left of the keyboard.

It took me 5 tries this morning. My first 2 guesses had zero letters that were in the word.
I discovered this morning that the keyboard, itself, keeps tracks of the letters you used and the status of them. Saves a lot of time from checking and rechecking if you had already used a wrong letter and what letters you have left to choose from.

I don't see a place to "just type the letters!" No blanks no boxes!!

where is this game played? I do not see a place to just enter letters either? Or have my keyboard keep track of any letter usage. I am confused where this is on TVCH.

If it still doesnt work for you guys, I'm wondering if because of the type of thing you are using. I'm using a tablet.

My daughter turned me on to this the other day. She also turned me on to the NY Times Spelling Bee.

I heard about Wordle after watching The Today Show. They did a bit on it and so I had to download the app!! I still haven't been successful in solving the 5 letter word for 4 days straight. I will achieve a win soon!!

I'm stuck on today's puzzle. I'm hoping taking a time out, the word will pop out to me when I go back.

Grooch, I hope I'm not spoiling it for you, but something I wasn't aware of.... the same letter can be repeated within a word.
