Wordle with five-letter college football words.

Today's CFBordle board on a desktop: the guess CRANE with R in yellow and E in green, five empty rows below and the coloured on-screen keyboard

CFBordle plays like Wordle, but every answer is a five-letter word from college football, such as a coach's surname, a mascot or a school nickname. You get six guesses and coloured tiles after each one, and the puzzle number goes up by one each day.

About CFBordle

CFBordle is a Wordle for college football fans, hosted on a redditcfb.com address alongside the r/CFB community. The rules are the ones Wordle players know: six tries to find a five-letter word, with each letter coloured after a guess to show whether it is in the right place, in the word but elsewhere, or not in it at all.

The difference is the answer list. Every solution comes from college football: coaches such as Saban, Meyer and Rhule, mascots like Aubie, Bucky and Zippy, team names like Tulsa and Idaho, nicknames like Canes and chants like Geaux. Your guesses can be any ordinary English five-letter word, so you can still open with a word you trust and narrow it down.

The first puzzle was on 14 February 2022 and the count has gone up by one each day since. The game works the day out from your own clock, so a new word arrives at local midnight. The answers run through a fixed list of 170 words in order, so the same word comes round again after about five and a half months.

It suits fans who know the sport's coaches and traditions as well as its teams; a general Wordle player will find some answers hard to reach without that.

The icons along the top switch on a hard mode, where every revealed letter must be used in later guesses, a dark theme and a high-contrast colour set. The stats panel counts your streak and guess spread and offers a share grid, with a separate button for posting it to Discord. There is no account, and no ads on the page.

How to play CFBordle

  1. Open CFBordle and type any five-letter word as your first guess.
  2. Read the colours: green is the right letter in the right spot, yellow is in the word elsewhere, grey is not in it.
  3. Think of college football words that fit what you know: coaches, mascots, nicknames, schools.
  4. Find the word within six guesses, then share your result grid.

Tips

  • Open with a common English word to find vowels; the answers often have unusual letter patterns like GEAUX.
  • Coaches' surnames and mascot names come up as often as school names.
  • The answer list repeats after 170 days, so remember the ones you have seen.
  • Turn on hard mode from the eye icon if you want every hint you find to be used in the next guess.
