Detailed Answer
Wordle-style games challenge you to guess a hidden 5-letter word within 6 attempts. After each guess, tiles change color to give you feedback: green means the letter is correct and in the right position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in a different position, and gray means the letter is not in the word at all. Use this feedback to narrow down possibilities with each guess.
