Click here to play the New York Times Wordle and then send me your results using the share button.

An Asterisk beside your name indicates that you are playing in Hard Mode. Which means: Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.
If somehow you don't send me your Wordle, you will be assigned the worst score of the day.
I will adjust if I receive your email late.
Some people's emails are not getting through sometimes, so I will correct for that too.
You will be assigned a one or 2 stroke penalty for not using the correct word unless you have the highest score of the day (That's penalizing enough)

Like real golf, this competition is based on the honour system.
Using any kind of 'enhancements' like online word searches is not permitted.
Looking up previous Wordle solution words from historical websites also frowned upon
 although you are allowed to look back at past tournaments for solved words.
It's actually easier to cheat at Wordle than Golf, so don't!

** The difficulty of each puzzle is determined by averaging the number of guesses provided by a small panel of testers who are paid to solve each puzzle in advance to help New York Times catch any issues and inconsistencies. They add a score of 7 when testers do not complete the puzzle.
