How to play Dordle — 2 boards, 7 shared guesses
One guess, two boards
Find two different five-letter words within seven shared guesses. Every submitted word is scored on both unsolved boards, so one guess produces two sets of clues. Solving one board does not give you a new allowance of guesses; the seven-guess budget belongs to the whole game.
Type with your keyboard or tap the on-screen keys. Press Enter to submit and Delete or Backspace to remove a letter. Only words accepted by this edition’s word list can be submitted; the two answers come from the same five-letter answer pool.
Normal, Sequence and Jumble
| Mode | Guess allowance | How the boards are shown |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 7 shared guesses | Both boards visible and scored on every guess. |
| Sequence | 9 shared guesses | One unsolved board at a time. Boards ahead of the current one are concealed until earlier boards are solved. |
| Jumble | 8 shared guesses, including 3 pre-filled guesses | The game opens with three scored guesses. You have the remaining submissions to finish both boards. |
These allowances come from the current game code. They are not copied from another Dordle release and may differ from other editions.
Read the tile feedback
Green = correct position. Yellow = present elsewhere. Gray = that copy is absent.
A green tile means the right letter in the right position. A yellow tile means the letter belongs somewhere else. A gray tile means that copy of the letter is not used.
Repeated letters are counted as copies. Against APPLE, the guess ALLEY has one green A, one yellow L, one gray L, one yellow E and one gray Y. The second L does not receive a second yellow match because the answer has only one L.
Greens are assigned first, then yellows from the remaining copies. That order matters: a gray copy can sit beside a yellow copy of the same letter. The strategy page’s repeated-letter section shows two source-checked examples.
Controls and saved play
Daily progress saves in this browser as you play, and the homepage shows whether a daily result already exists. Practice puzzles are separate and can be restarted without touching the daily save. Settings control the display options supported by this edition.
Daily puzzles use this site’s own sequence; they are not the original Dordle sequence. Clearing site storage removes saved progress. The privacy page lists what is stored.
Where to go next
The strategy page works through a two-board opening, an endgame with two guesses left, and a repeated-letter check. If you want to understand the exact budget before you start, begin with the shared-budget section.
