QuestionHow do I erase an unacceptable word?RobloxStudioKingCommunity AnswerUnfortunately, you cannot erase words you have already entered in Wordle. If you are talking about removing a word you have not already entered (or one the game didn't allow), you can do so by pressing the button with an X in the bottom right corner.
-
QuestionWhat does it mean when it says after you submit a word" :not in word list."?RobloxStudioKingCommunity AnswerIt means that the word you entered isn't recognized by the program, usually because it isn't a word.
-
QuestionIf you enter a letter which is used more than once in the secret word, will there be any indication that it will belong in more than one location?RobloxStudioKingCommunity AnswerNo, there will not be any indication. If you enter a word containing a letter the answer has two of, it will be marked green, yellow, or gray (based on the accuracy of the guess).
-
QuestionIf I guess the word in three tries what do I do with the remaining chances?Top AnswererNothing. You have guessed the word, so you don't need to use your other chances. It will also show how many times you got the word on the first attempt, second attempt, etc.
-
QuestionIf my letter is green, and later I put that same letter in another position, and it comes up gold, does that mean that my letter appears twice in the correct word?Top AnswererIf your word contained the letter in the same position, as well as in another place (for example, if the letter "P" appeared green in the word "place" and then the letter appears gold in the second instance of it in the word "paper"), then it would mean that the letter appears twice. If you move the letter and it appears good, it could just be referring to the instance of it where it appeared green (for example, if the letter "P" was green for "place", but gold for the word "syrup").
-
QuestionDoes everyone have the same word to solve, or does each person have a different word?Top AnswererIf you are playing the game on the New York Times website, everyone has the same word each day.
-
QuestionIf I guess the word "TRUST" and the word of the day is "PUTTY", will both "T"s show up as letters just in the wrong space?Top AnswererYes. Because there are two instances of the letter "T" in the word of the day, neither in the correct position in the initial word, they will both appear gold.
-
QuestionIf you use a letter twice in a guess and one shows yellow; the other gray, does that mean there is only one of that letter in the Wordle?Top AnswererYes. If only one appears gold, there is only one instance of that letter in the word.
-
QuestionDoes the game end if the letters you play are not a word?Top AnswererNo. The game only ends when you guess the word, or if you use up all six guesses.
-
QuestionI have a 100% record yet my current streak and max streak are different though both add up to the number of games played. Why?Top AnswererThe percentage refers to how many games you won. The streak refers to how many consecutive days you won a game. It is likely you forgot to play one day, which would have broken your streak.
-
QuestionAre all the words in American spelling?Top AnswererYes. It will recognise words which use a different spelling, such as British English, but the final word will use the American spelling.
-
QuestionDo they reveal the word if you don't guess?Top AnswererIf you don't guess, nothing will happen. It will only reveal the word if you use six incorrect guesses.
