Valentine’s Day brings its own rush of messages, plans, and little happy distractions, and right in the middle of it, NYT Wordle feels like a quiet moment just for you. The familiar five-letter puzzle slows things down for a minute, a few guesses, a bit of thinking, and that small spark of joy when the word finally clicks into place.
Whether it’s part of your everyday routine or a quick breather between calls and celebrations, today’s February 14 Wordle is a simple, feel-good brain break. You might solve it with your morning coffee, share your score with someone you love, or keep your streak going as a tiny personal win; either way, it fits the mood of the day perfectly.
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 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.
