Each day, the online word-guessing game Wordle sets a secret five-letter word that the players need to guess the secret word in six attempts. There are three coloured blocks to give cues to the players. Green indicates correct placement of the letter, yellow indicates that letter is a part of the secret word but not placed at the right spot. Black indicates that the letter is not part of the Wordle of the day.

Wordle has been the most phenomenal latest addition to the New York Times’ portfolio of logic and word games that has captured its audience since the launch of The Crossword in 1942 followed by Mini Crossword, Spelling Bee, Letter Boxed, Tiles and Vertex, etc.
