How to Play 4-Letter Wordle

Shorter words, sharper thinking. Each guess carries more weight when you've only four letters to play with.

Strategic Challenge
Four letters means every guess gives you less to work with. You'll need sharper thinking and a stronger feel for short words to crack it in six tries.
What's Different?
  • Tighter words mean quicker rounds, but each guess has to earn its place
  • Harder per letter - every attempt needs to fit the grid exactly
  • Short rounds, sharp thinking - fits a coffee break neatly
Game Rules
  • Guess the 4-letter word in six goes or fewer
  • Green letters are in the word and in the right place
  • Yellow letters are in the word but in the wrong place
  • Grey letters aren't in the word at all
Available Modes
