As the year winds down, it’s the perfect moment for reflection, cozy moments, and a little brain workout! The NYT Wordle game fits perfectly with the year-end vibe, blending the satisfaction of wordplay with that delightful “aha” feeling when each guess clicks into place.
Whether you’re a daily Wordle pro or trying the puzzle for the first time, today’s year-end edition offers a fun, relaxing way to challenge your mind and wrap up the year on a thoughtful, playful note.
Wordle is a popular online word puzzle that you can play daily, in which you attempt to guess a five-letter word in six guesses or fewer. It's easy to understand and addictive, perfect for that morning cup of coffee.
Type any five-letter word that is a valid English word (like SLATE), then hit Enter.
After each guess, letters will change colors:
Green: You have the correct letter in the correct location.
Yellow: You have the correct letter in the incorrect location.
Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Now with mistakes in grays ruled out from the next guess, greens will be treated as priorities, and yellows will be tried in other locations depending on their color.
Suppose you can find the word within six guesses. Congratulations! You have won for the day. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day.
