This game is not the original Wordle, which is a single-player puzzle available on the New York Times’ website, but rather a two-to-four-player game designed for ages 14 and up. It will be a game of guessing a five-letter Secret Word from a dry-erase Wordle board as the Wordle Host writes it down.

During the game, guessers are given points based on how many tries it took them to get the answer right, and at the end of the game, the person who has accumulated the fewest points wins the game. Additionally to the standard game modes, players have the option of competing in Fast, Timed, and Team modes for an extra twist on the usual gameplay.
