The game involves guessing a five-letter word in six chances while receiving feedback on the correctness of the letters. The Times celebrated the game’s 1000th word on March 15 with the word “ERUPT.” In addition to Wordle, The Times Games stable includes other games like Connections and Spelling Bee, with a new game in beta called Strands. The creator of Wordle narrowed down 12,000 English words to create a database of 2,500 answers for the game.
