Dordle: Double the Challenge, Double the Fun

Dordle is a clever twist on classic word puzzles. Instead of solving just one word, you’ll take on two 5-letter puzzles at the same time—with a single guess counting for both. Can you crack both codes in just seven attempts?

How It Works

Objective

• Solve two separate 5-letter words

• You have 7 guesses total

• Each guess applies to both puzzles simultaneously

Color Feedback

Each puzzle provides independent color-coded feedback for your guess:

• Green: Correct letter in the correct position

• Yellow: Correct letter, wrong position

• Gray: Letter does not appear in the word

Example Guess

Suppose your guess is: FIRST Here’s what the feedback might look like:

Left Puzzle:

F I R S T Gray Yellow Green Gray Gray

Right Puzzle:

F I R S T Gray Gray Yellow Gray Green

Keyboard Hints

The on-screen keyboard displays split-color feedback to help you track each puzzle:

• Left half of each key = status in left puzzle

• Right half = status in right puzzle

Example: If the "R" key shows Green | Yellow

• Green (left): R is correct and in the right place in the left word

• Yellow (right): R is in the word but in the wrong place in the right word

Winning Strategies

Getting Started

• Begin with a strong, balanced word like SLATE or CRANE

• Look for high-frequency letters to maximize early feedback

• Pay close attention to both boards at once

Solving Efficiently

• Prioritize the puzzle giving more feedback—solving one can help with the other

• Use the keyboard to track confirmed and eliminated letters

• Remember that every guess counts for both puzzles—plan carefully

Advanced Tactics

• Use letter frequency and position logic to eliminate unlikely options

• Spot patterns early to reduce wasted guesses

• Make educated guesses that can test multiple theories in both words
