General Info:

1. You need to pick a 'Display Name' before you can use this site. This name is used to identify you to your friends and to keep track of your challenge statistics. Use any name that your friends will recognize as you ('Mike G' might be better than just 'Mike'). Your name will NOT be unique across all our users.

2. At your first visit, we create your User ID (e.g., '6F7E3'). Make a note of this code. You can use it to sync your user data across multiple devices, or to restore your identity if your device loses its 'Cookie'.

To challenge a friend:

1. Select whether you want to play with 4, 5 or 6 letter words.

[When we play, we only use words that we actually know. It's no fun trying to solve a Wordle when the word is "ARECA" or "AVELS"!]

3. Click "Build". If it's not a valid word, we'll tell you.

4. Copy the URL that we create for you, and paste it into a text or email to your "victim(s)".

5. When your recipient gets the message, they can simply click on the URL and start the Wordle challenge.

To challenge yourself:

Click 'Challenge Me'. Your challenge word will be selected randomly from our list of thousands of common words and you will be redirected to the This Guess page.
