Unwordle: Wordle in Reverse

In Unwordle the answer is already on the board. Work backwards and fill in the guesses that would give the green, yellow and grey tiles above it. A new daily puzzle every day, Unlimited play for practice and new modes like Mini, Blitz and Marathon.

How to play Unwordle

1Start from the answer

The bottom row is the solved word, all green. Every row above it is a Wordle guess with its colours already shown, but without the letters.

2Read the colours

Green: the letter is in the answer in the same spot. Yellow: the letter is in the answer, but in a different spot. Grey: the letter is not in the answer.

3Work your way up

Type a real word into each row so that, checked against the answer, it gives exactly the colours shown. Letters found in one row must be used again in the rows below, and grey letters can't come back.

4Fix mistakes, take a hint

A red corner marks a tile that breaks a rule: tap it to see why. Stuck? Press Hint and one correct letter appears in the row you choose.

What is Unwordle?

Unwordle is Wordle played backwards. In Wordle you guess a hidden word and the game colours your letters. In Unwordle the hidden word is shown at the bottom of the grid, the colours are already there, and the guesses are missing. You rebuild a finished Wordle game from its colours, row by row.

That makes it part Wordle, part tiny crossword. Every row has to be a real word, every tile has to match its colour, and the rows have to fit together like a real game: once a guess finds a letter, the guesses after it keep using it. Most puzzles have more than one solution, and any grid that follows the rules counts as solved.

Unwordle first appeared in 2022 as a reverse Wordle for players who wanted one more puzzle after the daily word. Unwordle.io keeps the classic English daily puzzle and adds Unlimited play, puzzles in 18 more languages, 4-, 6- and 7-letter words, timed modes and hints.

Game modes

Every mode has a Daily puzzle that is the same for everyone and an Unlimited option for practice.

ClassicThe daily Unwordle: 4 rows, 5-letter words. UnlimitedEndless puzzles in Easy, Normal and Hard sizes. MiniJust 3 rows. A quick puzzle for a tea break. XL6 rows of guesses for a longer solve. 4 LettersShorter words, faster rounds. 6 LettersLonger words, more to untangle. 7 LettersThe longest words. For experts. HardNo autocheck: errors stay hidden until you press Check. BlitzSolve the grid before the 3-minute timer runs out. MarathonFive puzzles in a row, from 3 to 6 rows, one total time.

Tips for solving Unwordle

  1. Start with the row right above the answer. It usually has the most green and yellow tiles, so very few words fit it.
  2. Grey means ‘not in the answer’. A grey tile takes a letter that doesn't appear in the bottom word (or appears fewer times than you used it).
  3. Yellow letters move. A yellow tile needs a letter from the answer, but not the one that sits in the same column of the answer.
  4. Carry letters down. A letter that turned green or yellow in one row must appear again in every row below it. Greens stay in their column.
  5. Any valid grid wins. You don't have to match a hidden solution. If every word is real and every colour fits, the puzzle is solved.

Unwordle FAQ

What is Unwordle?
Unwordle is a reverse Wordle game. Instead of guessing a hidden word, you get the answer and the coloured tiles of a finished game, and you fill in the guesses that would produce those colours.
How is Unwordle different from Wordle?
Wordle asks you to find the answer. Unwordle gives you the answer and asks you to rebuild the guesses. It plays more like a small crossword: each row must be a real word and must match its colours exactly.
Is there a new Unwordle every day?
Yes. The daily puzzle changes at midnight in your time zone and is the same for every player. Missed a day? Open the calendar in the game to play any past puzzle from the archive.
Can I play Unwordle unlimited?
Yes. Unwordle Unlimited gives you a new puzzle whenever you want, in three sizes: Easy (3 rows), Normal (4 rows) and Hard (6 rows).
What do the red triangles mean?
A red corner marks a tile that breaks a rule, for example a letter that is not in the answer on a yellow tile, or a word that does not exist. Tap the tile to read what is wrong. In Hard mode errors stay hidden until you press Check.
Is Unwordle free, and which languages can I play in?
Unwordle is free and needs no sign-up. It works in any browser on phones, tablets and computers, and you can play it in 19 languages, each with its own word list.
