Detailed Game Introduction

Wordler follows the modern five‑letter deduction format: each guess yields color feedback (correct letter/place, correct letter/wrong place, absent). Optimal play prunes the search space with informed guesses instead of random stabs.

Gameplay Strategy & Walkthrough

  1. Strong opener: Use a high‑coverage starter with common vowels/consonants (e.g., SLATE/CRANE/ROAST).
  2. Letter accounting: Track confirmed/excluded letters explicitly; avoid re‑testing dead letters.
  3. Position logic: Fix green letters, permute yellows across remaining slots.
  4. Frequency bias: Favor common digrams (TH, CH, SH, ST) and endings (‑ER, ‑ED, ‑ING).
  5. Endgame pruning: Before final guesses, shortlist all valid permutations to avoid whiffs.

Controls Guide

  • Type and submit guesses; review color feedback; limited attempts per puzzle.
