Weredle

About Weredle

Weredle, pronounced like wear-dull, looks and plays like Wordle: type a five-letter word, and the tiles turn to show whether each letter is in the right spot, in the word elsewhere or not in it at all. You have six tries.

The twist is the Werewolf. In every guess one tile may, or may not, show a false colour. After your first guess you have to click a tile to guess whether it is the Werewolf. Once you have found it, no new false tiles appear, the earlier false tiles are outlined in red, and the on-screen keyboard reveals the true status of every letter you have tried. Until then you have to weigh each colour knowing one of them might be a lie, and a tile you have already cleared as not the Werewolf can be trusted.

The game is free in the browser, with one word a day that changes at midnight on your device, and a stats screen. Its about page says it is an open source fork of a Wordle clone and links to the original Wordle.

How to play Weredle

1. Open weredle.netlify.app and type a five-letter word, then press Enter.
2. Read the colours, remembering that one tile may be lying.
3. Click the tile you think is the Werewolf.
4. Once the Werewolf is found, trust the keyboard: it shows each letter's true status.
5. Find the word within six tries.

Tips

• Look for a colour that contradicts your earlier guesses: that tile is likely the Werewolf.
• Repeat a letter in the same spot to test whether its colour was a lie.
• Find the Werewolf early; after that the game plays like normal Wordle.
• Trust tiles you have already cleared as not the Werewolf.
