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.

Du kan også stille spørsmål. Hvis du gjetter riktig, snur du mobilen raskt oppover for å telle poeng. Er du en idiot og gjetter feil snur du den nedover. Vær rask! Når tiden er over er det neste idiot sin tur. På slutten av hver pakke får dere oversikt i poengtavlen. Lag egne premier/straff til vinnere og tapere, slik at det er high stakes. Idiot oppdateres jevnlig med nye ord slik at det alltid er noe nytt å spille. Med Idiot+ får du alle pakkene, du kan lage din egen pakke med egne ord, og bestemme selv hvor lenge rundene varer.
