4-Letter Wordle (Unlimited)

How to play

A shorter, faster take on the color-clue word game. Four letters sounds easy, but fewer letters means fewer clues per guess — and words like BEAR, DEAR, FEAR, GEAR, and HEAR can trap you. Guess the hidden four-letter word in six tries.

  1. Type a real four-letter word and press Enter.
  2. Green: right letter in the right spot. Yellow: in the word but elsewhere. Gray: not in the word.
  3. When many words fit (like _EAR), guess a word that tests several of the possible first letters at once.
  4. Press New word for another round — there is no daily limit.

FAQ

Is 4-letter Wordle easier than 5-letter?

It is quicker, but not always easier: each guess reveals less, and families of rhyming words can use up your tries.

Is this the official Wordle?

No. It is an independent, free four-letter Wordle-style game, not affiliated with The New York Times.

Which words can be answers?

About 780 common four-letter words from the SCOWL frequency lists, with simple plurals and offensive words removed. Around 3,800 words are accepted as guesses.

Is it good for kids?

Yes. Answers are everyday words, so it works well for young players and spelling practice.
