Wordlio gives you six guesses to crack today's secret 5-letter word. Type a real English word, hit ENTER, and the tiles flip to give you feedback. A green tile means the right letter in the right spot. A yellow tile means the right letter in the wrong spot. A grey tile means the letter isn't in today's word at all. Use that information to narrow down your next guess. The same word is shared by every player worldwide each day, so your friends and family are working on the exact same puzzle.
A strong opener tests as many common letters as possible. Words like ADIEU, AUDIO, RAISE, STARE and CRANE cover three or four vowels and a couple of high-frequency consonants — the perfect first probe. After your opener, the second guess should target letters you haven't tested yet rather than reshuffling letters you already confirmed. Many top players use a fixed two-word opening pair (e.g. RAISE then CLOTH) that touches ten different letters before they start solving. By guess three, you typically have enough information to land the answer in the next two attempts.
Watch out for double letters — a yellow tile sometimes means the letter appears twice. Common endings include -OUND, -IGHT, -OAST and -AKER, while common starts include CR-, ST-, PR- and TR-. If a vowel slot is still empty after three guesses, test the less common vowels Y and U. And don't be afraid to "waste" a guess on pure information — a guess that scores no greens can still eliminate five letters and lock in the answer next turn.
Today's Wordlio is curated by hand from a list of common, recognisable English words — no obscure scientific terms, no archaic spellings. The same word reaches every player on Earth at midnight local time, which means a Tokyo player and a New York player share the same puzzle within a 24-hour window. Streak progress, leaderboard points and emoji-grid sharing all flow from this one daily puzzle.
