How to play 8 letter Wordle
Play 8 letter Wordle on 128ordle: find one eight-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 eight-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 BIRTHDAY and the guess is MAGAZINE. MAGAZINE contains A twice, but BIRTHDAY has only one A. One A is coloured and the other is grey. A grey duplicate rules out an extra copy, not every A.
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 eight letters changes
Each guess shows you eight letters. After two openers most boards have several coloured tiles, and wrong answers are rarely one letter apart. What makes it hard is vocabulary and spelling: every guess must be a real eight-letter word, and you have to think of one that fits.
Eight-letter answers cluster by ending more than by rhyme: ADDITION, AMBITION, AUDITION, LOCATION, POSITION, VACATION; or FEARLESS, HARMLESS, HELPLESS, HOMELESS, HOPELESS, RECKLESS.
