Hi, click on the link in the original post. It should redirect you to the site. (It was recently purchased by nytimes)
Then for full instructions click near the upper left on the question mark icon. Basically you type in any five letter word as a guess of todays word of the day. The game will show you green, yellow, or dark grey as indicators of if you choose the right letter and if it’s in the right spot.
Green - correct letter and spot
yellow - correct letter and incorrect spot
Dark grey - incorrect letter
I can’t seem to stay away from this puzzle. I’m glad it’s only a once-per-day thing. I thought of two words that would work for my second guess but chose the wrong one.
I’m limiting myself to playing it one or two times a week. When I do play, I always start with adieu since it has lots of vowels. I’ve since noticed that some other people use the same word for, I suspect, the same reason.
