Wordle Today
One five-letter word, the same for everyone, new every day. You have six tries.
About the daily puzzle
Every day at midnight a fresh five-letter word is picked for everyone, based on the date alone. That means you and a friend on the other side of the country are solving exactly the same puzzle, and you can compare your coloured grids afterwards without spoilers.
Your progress is saved as you go, so you can close the tab, come back later and carry on from where you stopped. When you finish, your result and a share button appear, along with a countdown to tomorrow’s word.
Keep your streak alive
The statistics panel tracks how many days in a row you have solved the puzzle, your best streak and how many guesses you usually need. Solve it every day and the streak keeps growing. Miss one and it starts again from zero, so it is worth setting a daily reminder or installing the game on your phone.
Need help?
Use the Hint button for a free nudge, or try the solver if you would rather work through the possibilities yourself. Remember that the answer is always an everyday word, never an obscure one.
Frequently asked questions
When does the daily word change?
At midnight in your own time zone. A countdown shows how long you have left once you finish.
Is it the same word for everyone?
Yes. Everyone who plays on the same date gets the same five-letter word, so you can compare notes with friends.
Is this the NYT Wordle of the day?
No. This is Wordle UK’s own daily puzzle, so the answer will not match the New York Times version.
Does my streak survive if I miss a day?
No. Your streak resets if you skip a day, or if you fail to guess the word.
Can I play more once I have finished?
Of course. Head to Wordle Unlimited for as many extra games as you like.
