Once you hit Enter, the boxes will show you which letters you&#8217;ve got right or wrong. If a box turns \u2b1b\ufe0f, it means that letter isn&#8217;t in the secret word at all. \ud83d\udfe8 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. \ud83d\udfe9 means you&#8217;ve got the right letter in the right spot.<\/p>\n<p>Your second go should compliment the starting word, using another &#8220;good&#8221; guess to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn&#8217;t present in today&#8217;s answer. \u00a0After that, it&#8217;s just a case of using what you&#8217;ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there&#8217;s an E). Don&#8217;t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you need any further advice feel free to check out our <u>Wordle tips<\/u>, and if you&#8217;d like to find out which words have already been used, you can scroll to the relevant section above.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer <u>Josh Wardle<\/u>, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of <u>games like Wordle<\/u>, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn&#8217;t long before Wordle became so popular it was <u>sold to the New York Times for seven figures<\/u>.
