10 letter Wordle

Back to the puzzle

Play 10 letter Wordle on 128ordle: find one ten-letter answer in 6 guesses. Type with your keyboard or tap the on-screen letters, then press Enter to submit.

Reading the clues

• A guess must be an accepted ten-letter English word. British and American spellings are both accepted. Green means the right letter in the right position; yellow means the letter belongs in a different position.
• Grey means that copy of the letter did not match. If your guess repeats a letter, another copy can still be green or yellow. Use all the rows together to work out how many copies the answer can contain.
• Enter the exact answer to win. If you use every guess without solving it, the game reveals the answer so you can review your clues.

Why a repeated letter can be grey

In this made-up example, the answer is BLACKSMITH and the guess is DICTIONARY. DICTIONARY contains I twice, but BLACKSMITH has only one I. One I is coloured and the other is grey. A grey duplicate rules out an extra copy, not every I.

A plan for this puzzle

With one board, every clue belongs to the same answer. Keep green letters in position, move yellow letters to a different position, and remember that an answer may repeat a letter. Before using a turn, check your candidate against every earlier row, not just the latest one.

What ten letters changes

Each guess shows you ten letters, and two openers test more than half the alphabet. Deduction is rarely the problem. The work is recall and spelling: you need a real ten-letter word for every row, and one wrong letter in a long word is easy to miss.

Ten-letter answers are mostly a stem plus a long ending: COLLECTION, CONNECTION, CONVICTION, CORRECTION, PROTECTION, REFLECTION; or FRIENDSHIP, LEADERSHIP, MEMBERSHIP.
