Make your own Wordle and invite friends to play it. Try it now!
Wordle is a word game similar to the TV show Lingo.
You get 6 tries to guess a 5-letter target word. After each guess, the letters light up in various colors as clues. Green means a letter is correct in this spot; yellow means a letter is elsewhere in the target word; gray means a letter is not in the target word at all.

In 2021, Josh "powerlanguage" Wardle created Wordle, a version of the Lingo word game that you can play once a day. The target word is the same for everyone each day, and you can share results to Twitter and compare with your friends. This made Wordle go absolutely viral around January 2022.
lynn liked this game a lot, but wanted to play more than once a day, so she created her own version of it, where the words are random but you can play as much as you like. She called it hello wordl, which is a sort of bad programming joke.
I saw people were using pencil and paper to make their own Wordles for others to play, so I decided to make this work online with DIY Wordle. Frozen A. B. helped me make it work!
Don't get me wrong: we all think this is the most brilliant aspect of Wordle, and we don't aim to dethrone or improve on the "real" game.
This can happen in Wordle too, and we give clues exactly the same way Wordle does. I think the game would be too easy if we got rid of double letters, so we won't.
