How to play 4 letter Wordle
Play 4 letter Wordle on 128ordle: find one four-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 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.
- 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 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
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 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.
