Wordle is a free daily word guessing game that has quickly become the internet's latest obsession.
The premise is simple: users must guess the day's five-letter word in six tries or fewer. As you enter the letters from your guess, they turn gray if they are not included in the word, yellow if they feature in the word but are in the wrong place, and green if the letter is in the word and in the right position.
There is only one word game available each day, with players across the globe all competing to guess the same word.
