Avoid the Hidden Word: use its letters anywhere but their own spots.

Revertle's rules box: the Hidden Word SHUSH in red, example words TESTS, GUESS and HUSHY with red, yellow and green letters

Revertle flips Wordle's goal. You are shown the day's Hidden Word, its letters marked red on the keyboard. Each time you play one of those letters in a word, away from its spot in the Hidden Word, it moves a step from red to yellow to green; put it in its own spot and it resets to red. Turn every letter green in five guesses. Since 22 October 2026 the page stops at its loading screen, and it still did on 29 October.

About Revertle

Revertle is a Wordle variant by Puppetsquid, dated from 2022 by its own day count. Where Wordle hides the word, Revertle shows it to you; the puzzle is to avoid it.

Each day's Hidden Word is shown in red, as in the rules' example SHUSH. You type ordinary five-letter words. Every time one of the Hidden Word's letters appears in your word in a different position from where it sits in the Hidden Word, that letter advances one step, from red to yellow and from yellow to green. A letter may be used more than once in a word and moves with each use. But if you put a letter in the very same position it holds in the Hidden Word, it turns red again and loses its progress.

You have five words to turn all the Hidden Word's letters green on the keyboard. You may not repeat a word, and every word must contain at least one letter that is not in the puzzle. The rules box offers a High Contrast colour set, a Pride Mode with six colour steps per letter instead of three and its own streak, an Easy Mode with unlimited guesses that reveals letters as you find them, and an Unlimited mode that picks a random word on each refresh.

Since 22 October 2026 the game does not load. Its script imports a confetti effect from cdn.skypack.dev without a version, and that address answers with a server error. The page stays on its loading message on desktop and phone alike, and on 29 October it was still the same.

It suits Wordle players looking for a fresh constraint: instead of narrowing down a mystery, you juggle letters you already know.

How to play Revertle

  1. Read the day's Hidden Word; its letters are marked red on the keyboard.
  2. Type a five-letter word using some of those letters, each in a different position from where it appears in the Hidden Word.
  3. Each well placed letter moves one step: red to yellow, yellow to green. A letter in its own Hidden Word position resets to red.
  4. Keep going, never repeating a word and always including at least one letter not in the puzzle.
  5. Win by turning every Hidden Word letter green within five words.

Tips

  • Plan two words ahead: each letter needs two good uses to go from red to green.
  • Words that use several puzzle letters at once save guesses, as long as none sits in its own spot.
  • Keep a list of letters already green so you do not waste positions on them.

Questions

How is Revertle different from Wordle?

You are shown the Hidden Word and must avoid putting its letters in their own positions, rather than guessing an unknown word.

How many guesses do you get?

Five in the daily. Easy Mode and Pride Mode give unlimited guesses.

When is there a new Hidden Word?

At midnight on your device's clock.

What is Pride Mode?

The same Hidden Word with six colour steps for each letter instead of three, unlimited guesses and a streak of its own.

Why does Revertle only show Loading?

Since 22 October 2026 the page cannot load a confetti script it imports from cdn.skypack.dev, which stops the whole game from starting. It was still stuck on 29 October. Nothing on the player's side fixes it.
