How to play 4 letter 128 Wordle

Back to the puzzle

Play 4 letter 128 Wordle on 128ordle: solve 128 different four-letter answers in 135 guesses. Type one word and press Enter to send it to every unsolved board at once.

Reading the clues

  • A guess must be an accepted four-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.
  • Each board scores the guess on its own. A grey letter on one board can be green on another. Entering an exact answer solves that board, and solved boards stop receiving guesses. Clear every board before your guesses run out to win.

Why a repeated letter can be grey

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

A plan for this puzzle

The 128-board puzzle gives you seven spare turns. Three opening guesses that solve nothing leave four, even though the counter still shows 132 guesses. Switch to answers when the clues allow it, hide solved boards, and revisit ambiguous letter patterns before the budget reaches zero.

What four letters changes

Each guess shows you four letters instead of five, so you learn less per turn, and short words have far more near neighbours. Most players find the 4-letter edition harder than the classic game at high board counts, even though the words themselves are simpler.

Four-letter words come in big rhyming families: BAKE, CAKE, FAKE, LAKE, MAKE, RAKE, TAKE, WAKE; or BOLD, COLD, FOLD, GOLD, HOLD, SOLD, TOLD. Three green letters can still leave six or seven answers.

Know when you can afford a test word

You start with 7 spare turns: the guess limit minus the number of answers. During play, subtract unsolved boards from guesses left. A guess that solves nothing spends one spare turn; a correct answer keeps the margin.

At zero spare turns, every remaining guess must solve a board to clear the puzzle. A positive margin gives you room to test letters, but does not guarantee a win.
