128ordle FAQ - Everything You Need to Know
Find fast answers about 128ordle gameplay, Wordle variants, words, scoring, accounts, billing, subscriptions, and troubleshooting in the complete searchable FAQ.
The short version: type a valid five-letter word, submit it once, and that guess appears on every active board. Green, yellow, and grey feedback follows normal Wordle rules, but every board has its own answer and its own pattern of clues.
Daily puzzles give everyone the same challenge, while Infinite mode creates fresh practice runs. Speedrun, Hard, Blind, Archive, stats, leaderboard, profile, billing, and challenge-link features build on the same shared-guess foundation.
If you are new, start with Wordle, Quordle, or Octordle, then move to 128 Wordle when you want the signature 128ordle experience: many simultaneous boards, one shared guess list, and a result that is easy to compare with friends.

The essential 128ordle answers in one quick scan.
- What is 128ordle?
- 128ordle is a free browser-based word game where you solve 128 Wordle puzzles simultaneously. Every 5-letter word you type applies to all 128 boards at the same time. It's inspired by Wordle, Duordle, Quordle, Octordle, and Duotrigordle - but cranked up to the extreme.
- Is 128ordle free to play?
- Yes, 128ordle is completely free. No download, no sign-up, no payment required. Just open the site and start playing immediately.
- Where can I play 128ordle?
- You can play 128ordle at 128ordle.com in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. No app download needed.
- Who made 128ordle?
- 128ordle was built as an indie passion project for fans of multi-board Wordle games who wanted the biggest, most extreme challenge available.
- Is there a 128-word Wordle?
- Yes - that's exactly what 128ordle is. It's a Wordle variant with 128 boards running at the same time. Every guess you type hits all 128 boards at once.
- What does "128ordle" mean?
- 128ordle comes from "128" (the number of boards) combined with "ordle" (a suffix inspired by Wordle). The official variant name is Duosexagintordle, but 128ordle is the simpler name everyone uses.
Gameplay & rules
Boards, guesses, colours, and what happens after Enter.
- How do you play 128ordle?
- Type any valid 5-letter word and press Enter. Your guess counts for all 128 boards at once. Green tiles mean the right letter in the right position. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. Grey means the letter isn't in that board's word. You have 135 guesses to solve as many boards as possible.
- How many guesses do you get in 128ordle?
- You get 135 guesses to solve all 128 boards. Normal Wordle gives you 6 guesses for 1 board - 128ordle scales the guess limit up to 135 to give you a fighting chance.
- Do all boards get the same guess?
- Yes. Every word you type is applied simultaneously to all 128 boards. You can't target individual boards - one guess covers everything.
- How does the color coding work?
- Green = correct letter in the correct position for that board. Yellow = the letter exists in that word but you placed it wrong. Grey = that letter is not in that board's word at all. Each board is independent, so a letter can be green on one board, yellow on another, and grey on a third.
- What happens when I solve a board?
- When you guess a board's word correctly, that board lights up as solved and is removed from the active puzzle. Your goal is to solve as many boards as possible before running out of guesses.
- Can I win 128ordle by solving only some boards?
- Absolutely. Solving all 128 boards is the perfect score, but solving even a majority is a serious achievement. Your results are tracked and scored based on how many boards you cleared.
- What counts as a valid guess?
- Any valid 5-letter English word from the word bank. Proper nouns, abbreviations, and made-up words are not accepted. If a word turns red when you press Enter, it's not in the word list.
- Why does my guess appear on every board while I type?
- That is the preview. The word you are typing is shown on every unsolved board so you can see where it would land before you press Enter.
- Can I undo a guess?
- Yes. Every game includes one free Undo. 128ordle+ members and Lifetime Supporters get unlimited Undos.
- Why does each variant have a few more guesses than boards?
- You need at least one guess per board, so each variant adds a small buffer on top. Classic Wordle gets 6 guesses, Quordle 9, Octordle 13 and 128ordle 135.
- Is my game saved if I close the tab?
- Yes. Your guesses are saved in your browser as you play, so the puzzle is still there when you come back on the same device.
- Can I continue the same game on another device?
- An unfinished game stays on the device you started it on. Finished results, stats and streaks sync to your account when you are signed in.
- Where do solved boards go?
- Solved boards are marked as complete, and on large puzzles they can drop out of view so the boards still in play are easier to see.
- How do repeated letters work?
- The same as Wordle. If your guess has two of a letter and the answer has one, only one tile is coloured and the other is grey. Each board scores your guess against its own answer.
- Is there a timer in normal games?
- A normal daily or Infinite game has no time limit. Speedrun mode, Party rooms and the climbs record how long you take.
- What happens when I run out of guesses?
- The game ends and your result is scored on how many boards you solved.
- Does everyone get the same daily puzzle?
- Yes. Each board count has one daily puzzle shared by every player, which is what makes leaderboards and challenge links fair.
- Does the order of the boards matter?
- No. Boards are independent, so you can solve them in any order.
- Do the other editions have the same guess limits?
- Yes. Guess limits depend on the number of boards, not the edition: 6 guesses for one board, 9 for four and 135 for 128.
- Does everyone get the same daily puzzle in each edition?
- Yes. Each edition has its own daily puzzle for each board count, shared by everyone who plays it that day. It resets at midnight UK time.
Strategy & scoring
Openers, pacing, keyboard logic, and better results.
- Is 128ordle hard?
- Yes, extremely. Managing 128 boards at once means you're tracking 128 different patterns of green, yellow, and grey tiles simultaneously. Even veteran Wordle players find it overwhelming at first.
- What is the hardest Wordle variant?
- 128ordle is one of the hardest widely-played Wordle variants. Larger variants exist (256ordle, 512ordle, 1024ordle, 2048ordle) but 128ordle is already considered extreme. Only the most dedicated players consistently clear all 128 boards.
- What are the best starting words for 128ordle?
- High-coverage words work best. STARE, CRANE, SLATE, AROSE, RAISE, and TRACE are popular starting words that hit common letters (S, T, R, A, E, N) across many boards at once. Using two strong openers back-to-back (like CRANE + LOUSY) can eliminate most common letters efficiently.
- What is a good strategy for 128ordle?
- Open with words that cover common letters (RSTLNE + AEIOU). In the early guesses, play for information - you're mapping 128 boards at once. Once you've eliminated a large chunk of letters, start targeting boards that are close to solved by playing words with the green letters you've already found.
- Should I guess the same words every day?
- A consistent opening sequence can be very effective. Many top players use the same 2-3 opener words every day to get a reliable baseline of information, then adapt from guess 3 onward based on the results.
- Is there a trick to solving many boards quickly?
- Yes - focus on eliminating letters rather than solving individual boards early on. If a letter is grey on every board, you know it's gone from the entire puzzle. Track the keyboard colors carefully and prune letter possibilities aggressively.
- How do I read the keyboard in 128ordle?
- The on-screen keyboard shows a color for each letter based on its best result across all boards. Green means it's been confirmed correct in at least one board. Yellow means it's in at least one word but not yet placed correctly. Grey means it's been eliminated from all remaining boards.
- How many opening words should I use on big boards?
- On 32 boards and above, three or four fixed openers that cover about fifteen to twenty different letters usually pay for themselves, because the information applies to every board at once.
- When should I stop gathering letters and start solving?
- Once several boards have only one possible answer. Solve those first: each answer you play is also a new guess that adds clues to every other board.
- How do I know if I have enough guesses left?
- Compare the guesses you have left with the boards still unsolved. If they are equal, every remaining guess must be a correct answer. The strategy guides include a remaining-guess calculator.
- How should I use yellow letters across many boards?
- Treat each board separately. A yellow on one board says nothing about another, so read the board you are solving, not the keyboard, before committing a guess.
- What do I do with boards that have many possible answers?
- Leave them until other answers have added more clues. Words with shared endings, like the -IGHT or -OUND families, often separate themselves once you have played a few more guesses.
- Is there a tool to test starting words?
- Yes. The opener analysis page compares starting words against the standard answer list, and the strategy guides include worked examples for several board counts.
- Which board count should I start with?
- Quordle or Octordle. They teach you to read several boards at once without the long sessions that 64 boards and above need.
- How do I get faster?
- Use the same openers every game so the first few guesses need no thought, type on a physical keyboard, and solve certain boards as soon as you see them.
- Any tips for Hard Mode on many boards?
- Pick openers carefully, because confirmed letters must be reused. Aim to finish boards quickly once they are narrowed down, since you cannot play pure information guesses later.
- Where are the strategy guides?
- The guide library at 128ordle.com/wordle-guides collects the strategy, opener and board-specific guides in one place.
- Is 4 letter Wordle easier than 5 letter?
- The words are simpler, but most players find it harder on many boards. Each guess shows only four letters, and short words have big families that differ by one letter, such as COLD, FOLD, GOLD, HOLD, SOLD and TOLD.
- Is 6 letter Wordle harder than 5 letter?
- Each guess shows six letters, so boards become readable sooner. The words are longer and easier to mistype, and endings such as ER and LE often turn green while the first letters stay open.
- Is 3 letter Wordle easy?
- Not on one board. Each guess shows only three letters and families such as BAT, CAT, HAT, MAT, PAT, RAT and SAT can outlast six guesses. On many boards it is quicker, because the answer list is small and ordinary words often solve a board.
- Are 7 to 10 letter Wordles harder?
- They are hard in a different way. Each guess tests many letters, so clues arrive quickly and answers rarely look alike. The work is thinking of a real word of that length that fits, and spelling it correctly.
- What are the best starting words in the other editions?
- Each edition has a starting-words guide worked out from its own answer list, for example 128ordle.com/7-letter/best-starting-words or 128ordle.com/es/mejores-palabras-iniciales. The classic openers are tuned for five-letter English and do not carry over.
Modes & variants
Daily, Infinite, Speedrun, Hard, Blind, Archive, and more.
- Is there a new 128ordle puzzle every day?
- Yes. A fresh set of 128 words is released daily at midnight UTC. Everyone in the world plays the same daily puzzle.
- What time does the daily 128ordle reset?
- The daily puzzle resets at midnight UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The exact local time depends on your timezone - for example, that's 7 PM Eastern Time, 4 PM Pacific Time, and 1 AM Central European Time.

- Yes, there is a puzzle archive available. 128ordle+ subscribers can access past daily puzzles to play and catch up on days they missed.
- What is Hard Mode in 128ordle?
- Hard Mode forces you to use any confirmed letters (green and yellow) in subsequent guesses. You can't "waste" a guess on letters you already know aren't relevant. It's significantly more challenging but satisfying to complete.
- What is Speedrun Mode?
- Speedrun Mode adds a timer to your game. Your goal is to solve as many boards as possible as fast as you can. Leaderboards track the fastest times for different completion percentages.
- What is Blind Mode?
- Blind Mode hides the board colors from you as you type. It's an extreme challenge mode for advanced players who want to push their mental tracking skills to the limit.

- How is 128ordle different from Duotrigordle?
- Duotrigordle has 32 boards and 37 guesses. 128ordle has 128 boards and 135 guesses - four times as many boards with roughly the same guesses-per-board ratio, making it a serious step up in difficulty.

- Where do I play Ladder Climb?
- At 128ordle.com/ladder, or from the Climb the ladder button on the home page.
- What is the Daily Gauntlet?
- The Daily Gauntlet is the same climb as Ladder Climb, but everyone gets the same puzzles and only one attempt a day. It has its own leaderboard.

Pick one with the Letters and Language rows on the home page.
- Where do I find the other editions?
- Use the Letters and Language rows under the main buttons on the home page, or go straight to an address such as 128ordle.com/3-letter, /7-letter, /10-letter, /es, /fr or /pt. Each address can be bookmarked.

Words & answers
The accepted word pool, repeats, plurals, and proper nouns.
- What word list does 128ordle use?
- 128ordle uses a curated list of common 5-letter English words, similar to the official Wordle word list. Obscure words, proper nouns, and plurals of uncommon words are generally excluded.
- Can the same word appear on multiple boards?
- No. Each of the 128 boards has a unique answer - no word is repeated within the same daily puzzle.
- Are plural words allowed in guesses?
- Common plurals that form valid 5-letter words are generally accepted as guesses (e.g. "words", "plans"). Whether they appear as answers depends on the word list curation.
- Do proper nouns count?
- No. Proper nouns (names of people, places, etc.) are not in the word list and will not be accepted as guesses.
- How can I check whether a word is accepted?
- Use the word checker at 128ordle.com/128ordle-word-list. It tells you whether a word is an accepted guess and filters offensive words.
- Is every accepted guess also a possible answer?
- No. The list of accepted guesses is much larger than the list of answers. Answers come from a smaller set of common words.
- Can past Wordle answers appear as answers here?
- Yes. The answer list is kept in line with the standard Wordle solutions, including words such as EMOJI, GIZMO, LASER and OASIS.
- Does 128ordle use American or British spelling?
- Answers follow the standard Wordle list, which uses American spellings such as COLOR and FAVOR. British spellings such as FIBRE, METRE and LITRE are accepted as guesses.
- Does 128ordle publish the daily answers?
- No. Answers are only shown to you when your own game ends. The Answers Policy explains how to share results without spoilers.
- Are offensive words accepted?
- The word checker filters offensive words, and usernames, Party names and chat are checked for offensive language too.
- Do the other word lengths use British or American spelling?
- Both spellings are accepted as guesses. Answers are limited to words spelled the same way in British and American English.
- How do accents work in the other languages?
- Accent marks are ignored in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch. Type the word with or without them and it is read the same way, so ÁRBOL is ARBOL and ÉCOLE is ECOLE. Letters that count as their own letter of the alphabet keep their own keys instead: Spanish Ñ, German Ä, Ö and Ü, Swedish Å, Ä and Ö, the nine Polish letters and the Turkish letters.
- How do I type ñ in Spanish?
- The Spanish on-screen keyboard has its own Ñ key at the end of the middle row, and a physical Spanish keyboard works too. Ñ is a separate letter from N, so SEÑOR must be typed with Ñ.
- How do I type ç in French or Portuguese?
- Type a plain C. The cedilla is ignored, so LEÇON is entered as LECON and PRAÇA as PRACA.
- Is the Portuguese edition Brazilian or European?
- It follows Brazilian spelling. Most words are the same in both, but a few spellings used only in Portugal may not be accepted.
- Why are words like cœur not accepted in French?
- Words written with the ligatures œ or æ are left out of the French lists, because writing them as two letters would change their length.
- Where do the words in the new editions come from?
- Answers are the most common words of the right length, ranked by how often they appear in film and television subtitles and checked against open spelling dictionaries. Names, rude words and plurals are left out of the answers. The Copyright page lists the sources.
- Why was a real word rejected in another edition?
- Each edition has a finite word list. A word is rejected if it is the wrong length once accents are removed, is a name or abbreviation, or is simply missing from the source dictionaries. Email [email protected] with the word and the edition.
- An answer in another language seemed odd. What should I do?
- Email [email protected] with the word, the edition and the board count. Those lists were filtered by rules and read through, not checked line by line by a native speaker, so reports help.
- Can I guess plurals and conjugated verbs?
- Yes, where the dictionary recognises them. Plurals and verb forms are accepted as guesses in every edition, but answers are base forms such as singular nouns and infinitives.
- How do I type ä, ö, ü and ß in German?
- The German on-screen keyboard has Ä, Ö and Ü keys, and a physical German keyboard works too. They are separate letters, so GLÜCK must be typed with Ü. Words spelled with ß are left out of the German lists, because ß has no capital that fits one tile.
- How do I type å, ä and ö in Swedish?
- The Swedish on-screen keyboard has Å, Ä and Ö keys. They are separate letters from A and O, so a grey A says nothing about Å or Ä.
- How do I type Polish letters such as ł and ż?
- The Polish on-screen keyboard has an extra top row with Ą, Ć, Ę, Ł, Ń, Ó, Ś, Ź and Ż. Each is its own letter. Digraphs such as SZ and CZ take two tiles.
- How do dotted İ and dotless I work in Turkish?
- They are two different letters with two different keys. The dotted one shows as İ on the tiles and the dotless one as I. The Turkish keyboard also has Ç, Ğ, Ö, Ş and Ü, and leaves out Q, W and X.
- How do I type the Dutch IJ?
- As two letters, I then J. It fills two tiles, so PRIJS is a five-letter word.
- Why are Indonesian answers always root words?
- Indonesian builds many words with prefixes and suffixes. Answers stick to everyday root words such as RUMAH and MAKAN so they are easy to recognise. Affixed five-letter words are still accepted as guesses where the dictionary has them.
Accounts & stats
Sign-in, saved progress, profiles, streaks, and leaderboards.
- Do I need to create an account to play?
- No. You can play the daily puzzle and infinite mode without any account. Creating a free account lets you track your stats, appear on leaderboards, and access additional features.
- Are my scores saved?
- If you're logged in, your scores are saved to your account and synced across devices. Without an account, progress is saved in your browser's local storage and may be lost if you clear browser data.
- Is there a leaderboard?
- Yes! 128ordle has global leaderboards. You can see how your scores and times compare against players worldwide. Create a free account to appear on the leaderboard.
- What are achievements in 128ordle?
- Achievements are special milestones you can unlock by hitting certain goals - like solving all 128 boards, completing a speedrun under a time target, or maintaining a win streak. They're tracked on your profile.
- What is a perfect score in 128ordle?
- A perfect score is solving all 128 boards within 135 guesses. Achieving this is extremely rare and considered a major accomplishment.
- How is the score calculated?
- Your score is based on how many boards you successfully solved before running out of guesses. The more boards solved, the better your score. Solving all 128 boards in fewer guesses earns higher standing on the leaderboard.
- What is a good score on 128ordle?
- Solving over 100 boards is considered excellent. Clearing all 128 is exceptional. Even experienced Wordle players often aim just to beat their personal best rather than go for a perfect 128.
- Do unsolved boards count against me?
- Unsolved boards reduce your score. You're scored on how many boards you cleared. There's no penalty beyond the boards you didn't solve - so every solved board counts positively.
- Is there a win streak tracker?
- Yes. 128ordle tracks your daily win streak - how many consecutive days you've played and achieved a satisfactory result. Streaks are visible on your profile.
- Where can I see 128ordle community stats?
- The stats page shows how many letters have been typed, guesses made, boards solved and games finished across the whole community, with charts, clear rates for every board count, records and the next milestones. The monthly stats recap sums up the last complete month and is replaced on the first day of each month.
- What counts as a finished game in the stats?
- A game counts once it is played to the end, whether every board was solved or the guesses ran out, and its result is submitted. A game that is opened or started but left unfinished is not counted as a finished game, so the number of finished games is always lower than the number of visits. Its guesses still count towards guesses made, letters typed and boards solved. Party rounds count too. The stats count games, not people.
- How is letters typed calculated?
- Letters typed is not tracked. It is the number of guesses made multiplied by the length of the word: five letters in the classic game and in Party, and three to ten in the other word lengths. Guesses in unfinished games and Party rounds are included. A guess counts once however many boards it is applied to, and letters you type and delete are not included.
- What does 128ordle store when I finish a game?
- A finished game stores the board count and mode, which puzzle it was, whether every board was solved, how many boards were solved, how many guesses were used, the timer reading if one was running, and when the game finished. The game does not record individual key presses, and the stats pages show totals and records without names, emails or private account details. The How stats are counted page and the Privacy Policy have the full detail.
- Why are some monthly recap numbers marked with an asterisk?
- Finished games and new player accounts in the recap are exact counts. Figures marked with an asterisk, such as letters typed, boards solved and hours played for the month, are estimates worked out from a sample of that month's finished games, so they are rounded and described as about.
- Can I sign in with my username?
- Yes. The sign-in screen accepts your email address or your username.
- Can I sign in with Google?
- Yes. Choose Continue with Google on the sign-in screen.
- Why am I asked to choose a username?
- A username is what appears on leaderboards and your profile, so results only count there once you have one. You are asked when you start playing after signing up.
- How do I change my email address or password?
- Open Settings and choose Security. Changing your password asks for the current one first.
- I forgot my password. What should I do?
- If you signed up with Google, use Continue with Google. Otherwise email [email protected] from the address on your account and ask for help getting back in.
- How do I add friends?
- Open your profile and go to the Friends tab. Search for a player by username and send a request. Once they accept, you can compare results on the friends leaderboard.
- Is there a friends-only leaderboard?
- Yes. The leaderboard has an All Players view and a Friends view.
- How many players does the leaderboard show?
- The top 250, with your own position pinned so you can see where you stand even if you are outside it.
- What are the leaderboard tabs?
- Alongside the daily rankings there are This Week, Day Streak and Gauntlet tabs.
- Why did my result not count on the leaderboard?
- Results only count for puzzles that are open or closed within the last week, you need a username, and times that are impossibly fast are kept off the fastest-time board.
- What does my profile show?
- Your username, avatar and banner, an activity calendar, recent results, stats per variant and mode, win rates, average guesses, achievements and friends.
- How do I change my profile picture or banner?
- Open your profile and use the edit controls. Custom banners are a 128ordle+ perk.
- How do I reset my progress?
- Open Settings and choose Progress. You can reset the progress saved on that device, and signed-in players can reset synced progress too.
- How do I sign out?
- Open Settings, go to Details and choose Sign out. Do this on shared or school devices.
- Do guest results count anywhere?
- Yes. Finished games from guests are added to the community totals, without a name or email. They do not appear on leaderboards.
- What is the monthly stats recap?
- A page published on the first day of each month with last month's finished games, letters typed, boards solved, hours played, new players and highlights.
- Where can I see records?
- The records page lists the standout community results, such as the fastest recorded daily 128-board clear.
- How do I know how hard today's puzzle is?
- The difficulty page compares solve rates and averages for the day's puzzles.
- What breaks a daily streak?
- Missing a day. A day streak counts consecutive days on which you played a daily puzzle.
- What does "waiting to sync" mean?
- A result could not be uploaded, usually because the connection dropped. It is retried automatically and nothing is lost.
- Are saves and leaderboards shared between editions?
- No. Each edition keeps its own saved games, best times and leaderboards, so a Spanish Quordle never mixes with an English one. Your overall totals count games from every edition.
- Does playing another edition keep my daily streak?
- Yes. Finishing a daily puzzle in any edition counts towards your daily streak.
- How do I see the leaderboard for another edition?
- Open the leaderboard and use the variant filter. Edition puzzles are listed with the edition in brackets, such as Quordle (Español).
- Can 128ordle email me a reminder to play?
- Yes, if you ask for it. Sign in, open Settings and turn on the daily reminder email under Details. You get at most one email on a day you have not played the daily puzzle, sent in the afternoon UK time. It is off unless you turn it on.
- How often are reminder emails sent?
- Never more than once a day, and never on a day you have already played the daily puzzle. You can choose to be reminded only when a streak of two days or more is about to end. If you do not play after seven reminders in a row, they stop by themselves until you turn them back on.
- How do I stop reminder emails?
- Use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any reminder, which works in one click without signing in, or turn the reminder off in Settings under Details.
School packs
Free school colour packs, school emails, badges, and pack requests.
- What is a school pack?
- A school pack is a free board theme and matching keyboard in the colours of your college or university. Once your school is linked to your account you can claim it and wear it in any game.
- Are school packs free?
- Yes. School packs cost nothing. You only need your school linked to your account, either by verifying a school email or by having a pack request granted.
- Which schools have a pack?
- The school packs page at 128ordle.com/school-packs-implemented lists every college and university with a pack, grouped by country, with each school's colours and a search box.
- How do I get my school pack?
- Sign in, open Settings and choose School. Link your college or university email, enter the 6-digit code we email you, and claim your pack when it shows as ready.
- My school is not listed. Can I still get a pack?
- Yes. Link your school email anyway and your school is sent for approval, or use the Request a school pack form in Settings, under School. Packs for new schools are added by hand, so they take a little time.
- How do I request a pack for my school?
- Sign in, open Settings, choose School and fill in Request a school pack with the name of your school. You can add a note with the town, the school colours or a link to the school site.
- Do I need a school email to request a pack?
- No. The request form works with any account, including ones made with Gmail, Outlook or Google sign-in.
- How many pack requests can I send?
- One request a day and five a month per account. If you hit the limit, we already have your earlier requests and you do not need to send them again.
- What happens after I request a pack?
- A person reads the request. If we add your school, it is linked to your account and you get a popup to claim the pack once it has been made. Not every request can be added.
- How long does a requested pack take?
- There is no fixed time. Each pack is made by hand from the school's real colours, so it depends on how many requests are waiting.
- What counts as a school email?
- An address your college or university gave you, such as one ending in .ac.uk or .edu. Personal addresses like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or iCloud do not count as school emails.
- How does school email verification work?
- You type your school email and we send a 6-digit code to it. Enter the code on 128ordle to prove the address is yours. Nothing else is sent to that address.
- How long does a school verification code last?
- Ten minutes. If it runs out, ask for a new one from the same screen.
- I did not get my school verification code. What should I do?
- Wait a minute and check your junk or spam folder, because school mail filters often hold new senders. You can ask for another code after 30 seconds. If nothing arrives, your school may be blocking outside email.
- Why does my school code say it is not right?
- Only the newest code works, so use the most recent email. Codes also stop working after ten minutes or five wrong tries. Ask for a new code and enter it straight away.
- Why can I not request another school code?
- There are limits to stop abuse: 30 seconds between codes, six codes an hour per account and eight a day per email address. There is also a daily limit across the whole site, so on a very busy day you may be asked to try again tomorrow.
- Can I sign up with my school email?
- Yes. Choose Create account and use your school email. After you pick a username, 128ordle asks for the 6-digit code so your school is linked straight away.
- Can I add a school email to an account I already have?
- Yes. Open Settings, choose School and select Link school email. You keep your account, progress and purchases.
- Can I sign in with my school email?
- Yes. Once it is verified, your school email works on the sign-in screen as well as your usual email or username.
- What happens when I leave my school and lose that email?
- If your school email is the one you sign in with, add a personal email first in Settings, under School. That keeps your account after the school switches the address off.
- How do I remove my school email?
- Open Settings, choose School and select Remove school email. Your school membership, pack and badge are removed straight away. If you sign in with that address, add a personal email first.
- Can I switch to a different school?
- Yes. Remove your current school email in Settings, under School, then link the new one. Each account has one school at a time.
- Can one school email be used on two accounts?
- No. A school email can be linked to one 128ordle account only.
- What does "Waiting for approval" mean?
- Your email is verified, but we do not recognise its school yet. Once the school is approved, it shows in Settings, under School, and your private school leaderboard unlocks.
- Why does my school say its pack is being made?
- Your school is linked, but its colours have not been turned into a pack yet. You get a popup to claim it as soon as it is ready, and you can also ask for it with the request form.
- How do I wear or take off my school pack?
- Open Settings, choose School and select Wear pack. To take it off, pick any other theme and keyboard from the Style menu. The pack stays on your account.
- My school pack has the wrong colours. Can it be fixed?
- Yes. Email [email protected] with your school name and a link to its brand colours and the pack will be corrected.
- Why do the tiles in my school pack look slightly different from my school colours?
- Very light or very dark colours are shaded a little on letter tiles and keys so white letters stay readable. Pack previews keep the original colours.
- Does 128ordle+ or Lifetime Supporter include school packs?
- No. School packs cannot be bought and are not part of any membership or bundle. They are free for members of that school.
- What is the uni badge?
- University members can choose to show a small badge with their university's short name next to their username on leaderboards and their profile. It is off until you turn it on.
- How do I turn my uni badge on or off?
- Open Settings, choose School and use the Uni badge switch. You can change it at any time.
- Why can I not show a badge for my college or school?
- Badges are for universities only. Colleges and schools have smaller communities, where a public badge could make it easier to work out who someone is, so those memberships stay private.
- What is the school leaderboard?
- It is a leaderboard that only shows players linked to your own college or university. Nobody outside your school can open it.
- Who can see me on my school leaderboard?
- Other players linked to the same school can see your username and results there, the same way they appear on the main leaderboard. Your email address is never shown.
- Why is my school pupil email not accepted?
- Addresses for school pupils, such as ones ending in .sch.uk or on k12 domains, cannot be verified. School email verification is meant for colleges and universities. You can still play, and you can still ask for a pack with the request form.
- Can teachers and staff get a school pack?
- Yes. Anyone with an email address from a recognised college or university can verify it, including staff.
- Can alumni get their old university pack?
- Only if you can still receive email at a university address, because the code is sent there. A pack you already claimed stays as long as your school stays linked.
- Can I use a pack from a school I do not go to?
- No. A pack can only be claimed by players linked to that school.
- Does my school pack work on all my devices?
- Yes. It is tied to your account, so sign in on any device and it is there.
- I asked for a pack with a personal email. How do I receive it?
- If your request is granted, the school is linked to your account directly. Your School section shows it as added by request, and you get the claim popup when the pack is ready.
- How do I leave a school that was added by request?
- Open Settings, choose School and select Leave this school. Your pack and school leaderboard are removed.
- Can I use the language editions in class?
- Yes. They are free, need no accounts and use everyday words. There are lesson ideas for Spanish, French and Portuguese at 128ordle.com/spanish-wordle-for-class, /french-wordle-for-class and /portuguese-wordle-for-class, and the same approach works for the other languages.
Privacy & safety
What is stored, who sees it, school data, and how to delete it.
- What does 128ordle store about my school?
- If you verify a school email: that address, its domain, which school it matched, when you verified it, whether your badge is on and when you claimed your pack. If you only send a pack request: the school name and note you typed.
- Does 128ordle contact my school or tell it I play?
- No. 128ordle never contacts your school, never shares your results or account with it, and has no connection to any school's systems.
- What does 128ordle send to my school email?
- Only the 6-digit codes you ask for. No newsletters, marketing or reminders are sent to it.
- Is my school information sold or used for advertising?
- No. School emails, school names and memberships are not sold, not shared with advertisers and not used to target ads.
- Is my school shown publicly?
- Not unless you choose. University members can turn on a badge that shows the university's short name. College and school memberships are never shown publicly. Your school email address is never shown to anyone.
- Who can see my school email address?
- Only you and the person who runs 128ordle, who needs it to approve schools and help with problems. It is never shown to other players.
- How are school verification codes stored?
- Only a scrambled, one-way version of each code is stored, so the code itself cannot be read back. Codes expire after ten minutes and old records are deleted within a week.
- What is sent when 128ordle checks which school my email belongs to?
- Only the part after the @ sign, such as cardiff.ac.uk. It is checked against 128ordle's own list and a public list of university domains. Your full address is not sent for that check.
- Which company sends the school verification emails?
- Resend, an email delivery service. It receives the address the code is going to and the email itself. The emails have open and click tracking turned off.
- What happens to the school name I type in a pack request?
- It is saved with your account so the request can be answered, and it is emailed to the person who runs 128ordle. Other players never see it. Requests are cleared after a year.
- How do I delete my school information?
- Remove your school email in Settings, under School, to delete the membership straight away. Deleting your account removes it too, along with any pack requests.
- Does analytics know which school I go to?
- When a school email is verified, analytics records that it happened and which school it matched, so we can see whether the feature works. The email address is not part of that event. If you sign in with your school email, it is treated like any other account email.
- Does 128ordle collect school information from children?
- School email verification does not accept pupil addresses such as .sch.uk or k12 domains. 128ordle is not aimed at children under 13, and a parent or guardian can email [email protected] to have a child's account reviewed and removed.
- Where is the full school data policy?
- The School Emails and School Data page at 128ordle.com/school-data sets out what is stored, who sees it and how to remove it.
- Can I play without giving any personal information?
- Yes. You can play every free mode without an account. Your progress then stays in your own browser and is not tied to a name or email address.
- What does 128ordle store when I create an account?
- Your email address, username, display name, profile images, submitted results, statistics, achievements, friends, purchases and membership status.
- Is my email address shown to other players?
- No. Email addresses are never shown on profiles, leaderboards or anywhere else in the game.
- Does 128ordle sell my data?
- No. 128ordle does not sell personal information.
- Does 128ordle see my card details?
- No. Payments happen on pages run by Stripe. Card numbers go straight to Stripe and are never seen or stored by 128ordle.
- Does 128ordle record what I type?
- No. Automatic capture of clicks and keystrokes is switched off. A finished game stores your result, not the words you tried.
- Does 128ordle track my location?
- It never asks your browser for your location. It only works out a two-letter country code from your IP address, to show shop prices in your currency and a flag in Party rooms.
- Which analytics tools does 128ordle use?
- PostHog, DataFast, and Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights run for every visitor. Google Analytics only loads if you choose Accept on the consent banner. The Analytics and Tracking page lists what each one measures.
- How do I change my cookie or analytics choice?
- Open the Cookies page at 128ordle.com/cookies and use the control there. You can switch between Accept and Decline at any time.
- Will the game still work if I block analytics?
- Yes. A content blocker or your browser's tracking protection stops the analytics tools and the game plays normally without them.
- What cookies does 128ordle use?
- A one-day country code cookie for shop currency, cookies from the analytics tools, and Google Analytics cookies only if you accept them. Game progress and settings are kept in your browser's local storage. The Cookies page lists every one.
- How do I delete my account?
- Open Settings, go to Details and choose Delete account. It removes your login, profile, uploaded images, results, statistics and friendships, and it cannot be undone.
- Can I get a copy of my data?
- Yes. Email [email protected] from the address on your account and ask for a copy. Requests are answered within 30 days.
- How do I clear my data if I play as a guest?
- Clear this site's data in your browser settings. That removes everything stored on your device. Guest results sent to the community totals are not tied to a name or email.
- What does 128ordle get when I use Continue with Google?
- Your name, email address and profile picture. 128ordle never sees your Google password and does not use Google sign-in data for advertising.
- How are passwords stored?
- As salted hashes, not readable text. 128ordle's own records never hold your password, and support will never ask for it.
- Is there a minimum age to make an account?
- 128ordle is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, ask a parent or guardian before making an account.
- Is Party chat private?
- No. Everyone in the room can read it, and messages are filtered and kept as a moderation record so reports of abuse can be reviewed. Do not share personal details in chat.
- What should I avoid putting in my username or profile?
- Anything private. Usernames, display names and profile pictures are public, so do not use your full name, school, address or contact details.
- Does 128ordle show ads?
- 128ordle is not currently serving ad network ads. Small sponsor links at the bottom of pages are plain links with no tracking scripts.
- Which companies handle my information?
- Vercel hosts the site, Supabase runs accounts and the database, Stripe handles payments, PostHog and DataFast provide analytics, Resend sends reminder emails you ask for and school verification emails, and Google is used only for Google sign-in and optional analytics. The Service Providers page explains each one.
- How do I report a security problem?
- Email [email protected] privately before sharing it anywhere else. Good-faith reports are welcome and get a reply.
- Where can I read all the 128ordle policies?
- The Policies page at 128ordle.com/legal lists every policy with a short note on what each one covers.
- Do reminder emails track me?
- They have no tracking pixel, so opening one is not recorded. If you follow the play link, 128ordle notes that the link was used, and it can see from your results whether you played afterwards. That is used only to judge whether reminders are useful.
Billing & subscriptions
128ordle+ plans, one-time unlocks, renewals, and missing purchases.
- What is a 128ordle+ subscription?
- 128ordle+ is the monthly membership for 128ordle, previously called Luminary. It unlocks more modes, past daily puzzles, exclusive themes, profile perks, and no ads. Existing memberships and purchases keep their benefits.
- What does 128ordle+ include?
- 128ordle+ includes Archive access, Speedrun, Hard and Blind modes, a profile badge, custom profile banners, exclusive themes, and no ads. Lifetime Supporter includes these benefits plus every permanent pack and advanced stats, with one payment.
- What is the difference between 128ordle+ and one-time unlocks?
- 128ordle+ is a recurring monthly membership that unlocks Archive, advanced modes, exclusive themes, profile perks, and no ads. Lifetime Supporter includes those benefits plus all permanent packs and advanced stats for one payment. Individual one-time packs are permanent unlocks and do not require an active subscription.
- How do I cancel my 128ordle+ subscription?
- Sign in, open Settings, choose Subscription, and select Manage or cancel subscription. The Stripe billing portal handles cancellation and other subscription controls. Cancel there before the next renewal if you do not want another charge. You keep your perks until the end of the month you have already paid for, and your account shows the new status after billing sync completes.
- How do I update my payment method or billing details?
- Sign in to the account that owns the subscription, open Settings → Subscription → Manage or cancel subscription, and update your details in the Stripe billing portal. 128ordle does not store full card numbers.
- When does 128ordle+ renew, and what will I be charged?
- Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. The current introductory price, renewal price, and currency are shown on the checkout page before you pay and in the Stripe billing portal afterward. Check those pages for the exact offer attached to your account.
- I paid but my unlock or subscription is missing. What should I do?
- First confirm that you are signed in with the same account used at checkout, then open Settings → Subscription and refresh the billing status. If the entitlement is still missing, contact support with the receipt email, purchase date, and Stripe reference. Do not purchase again while the first payment is being checked.
- Where are my receipts, and how do I ask about a charge?
- Stripe emails a receipt for every payment to the address used at checkout. Your one-time purchases are also listed in Settings → Subscription under Purchase history, and members can review subscription invoices through Manage or cancel subscription. For a duplicate, unexpected, or otherwise disputed charge, contact support with the receipt or Stripe reference so it can be investigated.
- Can I get a refund?
- All sales are final. Unlocks, sets, bundles, memberships and tips are not refundable once they are delivered, except where the law requires a refund. Cancelling 128ordle+ Monthly stops future renewals but does not refund the month you are in. If you were charged twice, charged by mistake, or your unlock never arrived, contact support and we will put it right.
- Where can I see what I have bought?
- Sign in, open Settings, and choose Subscription. Purchase history lists every one-time unlock, set, and bundle on your account with its date, price, and status. Your plan status and active unlocks are shown just above it.
- Can I play past daily puzzles I missed?
- 128ordle+ subscribers can access the full archive of past daily puzzles. Free accounts play today's daily puzzle and can use Infinite mode for fresh practice.
- What are seasonal sets?
- Each season brings two sets and each event, such as Halloween or Christmas, brings three. A set is a matching board theme, keyboard and sound pack.
- Do I keep a seasonal set after it leaves the shop?
- Yes. Anything you buy stays in your Style menu all year, even after the season or event ends.
- What is a bundle?
- A bundle is every set from one season or event sold together for less than buying them one by one.
- Does Lifetime Supporter include seasonal sets?
- No. Lifetime Supporter and 128ordle+ include the permanent packs and perks, not seasonal or event sets.
- Can I try a theme before buying it?
- Yes. You can try any theme on for 20 seconds from the shop, hear every sound pack from its card, and preview locked profile cosmetics in the profile editor.
- Why are prices in a different currency than I expected?
- Prices follow the country you are visiting from. If the shop guesses wrong, pick your currency from the shop header and it is remembered.
- Can I buy without an account?
- Yes. Pay as a guest, then sign up with the email you used at checkout and the purchase is attached to your account.
- What if I pay twice for the same thing?
- If you pay for something you already own, the extra payment is refunded automatically.
- Can I support 128ordle without subscribing?
- Yes. There is a tip jar at the bottom of the shop for one-off support, open to guests too.
- If I have Lifetime Supporter, do I still need 128ordle+ Monthly?
- No. Lifetime already includes everything in Monthly. If you still pay for Monthly, cancel it in Settings, under Subscription.
- What happens to my perks after I cancel 128ordle+?
- You keep them until the end of the month you have already paid for. After that the membership perks stop, and anything you bought as a one-time unlock stays.
- What happens to my membership if I delete my account?
- It is cancelled straight away and the current billing period is not refunded. If you want to use the time you paid for, cancel first and delete later.
- Where is the shop?
- At 128ordle.com/shop, or from the Shop button in the top bar. The membership has its own page at 128ordle.com/plus.
- When is the next shop drop?
- The shop calendar shows the whole year ahead, with a countdown to the next season or event.
- How do I pay?
- Checkout runs on Stripe, which shows the payment methods available in your country, including cards and wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay where supported.
Devices & troubleshooting
Mobile play, browsers, keyboard problems, themes, and offline use.
- Does 128ordle work on mobile?
- Yes. 128ordle is fully responsive and works on iOS and Android browsers. The interface adapts to smaller screens, though desktop offers a more comfortable experience when tracking 128 boards.
- Does 128ordle work on iPhone and iPad?
- Yes, it works in Safari on iPhone and iPad as well as in other mobile browsers like Chrome and Firefox for iOS.
- Does 128ordle work offline?
- Not currently. An active internet connection is required to load the game and validate words. Future offline support may be added.
- Does 128ordle require Flash or any plugins?
- No. 128ordle is built entirely with modern web technologies (React, TypeScript) and runs natively in any modern browser with no plugins required.
- Why is the keyboard showing a wrong color?
- The keyboard displays the best result a letter has achieved across all active boards. If a letter shows green, it's confirmed correct on at least one board. Yellow means it's confirmed present but misplaced on at least one board. The keyboard is an aggregate view, not a per-board view.
- Why can't I type my word?
- Make sure you've typed exactly 5 letters and the word is in the accepted word list. If the word flashes red or shakes, it's not recognized as a valid word. Try a different word.
- Can I use the physical keyboard to play?
- Yes. You can type using your device's physical keyboard or use the on-screen keyboard. Both work seamlessly.
- Is there a dark mode?
- Yes. 128ordle supports multiple themes including dark mode. You can switch themes in the settings menu (the gear icon).
- What browsers does 128ordle support?
- Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge are all fully supported. Any modern browser released in the last 2–3 years should work without issues.
- Can I install 128ordle like an app?
- You can add it to your home screen from your browser's menu so it opens like an app. The Install page at 128ordle.com/install has the steps.
- The 1,024 or 2,048 board puzzles feel slow. What helps?
- Close other tabs, use a desktop or recent phone, and switch to the default tile texture. The biggest puzzles draw thousands of tiles, so older devices will feel it.
- How do I turn sounds on or off?
- Open the Style menu and choose Sounds. Pick a sound pack or turn sound off.
- Where do I change the theme or keyboard?
- Open the Style menu from the top bar. It has tabs for sets, themes, keyboards, sounds and effects.
- 128ordle is blocked on my school or work network. What can I do?
- Ask your IT team to review www.128ordle.com. It is a browser word puzzle that needs no installs and no accounts. The play at school or work guides explain what to tell them.
- Why did my progress disappear?
- Guest progress lives in your browser, so clearing browser data, private browsing or switching device removes it. Sign in to keep stats and streaks on your account.
- Does 128ordle work with a keyboard or screen reader?
- Menus and dialogs work with a keyboard and there is a skip-to-content link. A grid of 128 boards is hard for any assistive technology, and the Accessibility Statement lists the current limits.
- What happened to 128ordle.xyz?
- The site moved to www.128ordle.com. Old links redirect to the matching page automatically.
- The page will not load. What should I try?
- Refresh, check your connection and try a private window to rule out an extension. If it still fails, email [email protected] with your browser and device.
- Are the menus translated?
- Not yet. Each language edition has a home page, rules and guides in that language, but menus, settings and the shop are still in English.
Sharing & community
Challenges, result sharing, safety, feedback, and fair play.
- Can I share my results?
- Yes. After completing a puzzle, you can copy a shareable emoji grid of your results to paste into social media, Discord, or wherever you want to flex your score.
- Can I challenge a friend to the same puzzle?
- Yes. You can generate a challenge link to share a specific puzzle with friends. They'll play the same set of words as you, making it easy to compare results head-to-head.
- Is 128ordle related to the original Wordle by the New York Times?
- No. 128ordle is an independent fan-made game inspired by Wordle. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the New York Times or the original Wordle creators.
- Is 128ordle safe for kids?
- The puzzles contain no inappropriate content, and usernames, Party names and chat are filtered. 128ordle is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. You can play without an account, and Party chat is public to everyone in the room.
- How do I report a bug or give feedback?
- You can report bugs or share feedback by reaching out through the site's contact options. Community feedback helps improve the game for everyone.
- Will there be more game modes added?
- 128ordle is actively developed. New features, modes, and improvements are added regularly, and every meaningful release is listed with a version number and date in the changelog at 128ordle.com/changelogs.
- Where can I see what changed recently?
- The changelog at 128ordle.com/changelogs lists every release with a version number and date.
- What are the fair play rules?
- Play honestly, do not submit fake scores and keep usernames and chat respectful. Suspicious results can be hidden or removed under the Fair Play Guidelines.
