ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wordle (video game)

Wordle is like a game where you guess what words someone is thinking about. It's kind of like when you play "I Spy" and try to guess what your friend is looking at. Except in Wordle, you are trying to guess a secret word that someone else made up.

First, you have to pick a word. Then, you have to guess what word the other person is thinking of. You might guess "cat" and the other person might say "nope, that's not it." Then, you have to keep guessing until you figure out what the secret word is.

But there's a catch - you only get a certain number of guesses before you run out of chances. That's why you have to guess carefully and think about the letters that are in the word.

Wordle can be lots of fun because you can play with friends or family and try to guess each other's secret words. Plus, it helps you practice your spelling and vocabulary skills!
