What is Wordle?

Wordle is a daily word game from The NewYork Times catalogue, where you try to guess a five-letter word. You get six chances to get it right. When you guess a word, the game gives you clues with colors. A letter turns green if it is in the right spot, yellow if it is in the word but not in the right spot, and gray if it is not in the answer at all. The goal is to use those clues to get the word in six tries.
