Guess the correct word in six tries. Ordle is a simple game, but it is not easy. It has many similarities with the classic game “Mastermind”, with the difference that you have to guess words instead of color combinations. Ordle has three levels of difficulty where you can guess words of 5, 6 or 7 letters. From easy to pretty challenging. You can guess all the words you want per day and compete with other players for the top of the rankings.
