7 letter Wordle

Back to the puzzle

Play 7 letter Wordle on 128ordle: find one seven-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 seven-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 KITCHEN and the guess is WEATHER. WEATHER contains E twice, but KITCHEN 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 seven letters changes

Each guess shows you seven letters, so two openers cover half the alphabet and most boards are readable by the third row. The difficulty moves from deduction to recall: you often know five or six letters and still have to think of the word.

Seven-letter answers rarely differ by one letter, but they share beginnings and endings: CONCERT, CONFESS, CONFIRM, CONNECT, CONSENT, CONTROL; or CAPTURE, CULTURE, MIXTURE, PICTURE, TEXTURE, TORTURE.

Practise without waiting

Infinite mode is free practice with a fresh random puzzle for each new run. There is no daily reset to wait for. Use it to try a different opening and compare runs at the same board count.
