Since the pandemic started, the gaming industry has been having a blast. Not only have AAA titles seen an increase in player numbers, but many new indie games have also managed to gain fame thanks to everyone spending more time on their PCs.

Among Us and Fall Out Guys have been some stand-out titles, but if you have been on Facebook lately, or any other social media for that matter, then you might have come across ‘Wordle’. So what is this new game? Let’s find out!

What is the Wordle game?

Worlde is an algorithmically generated word puzzle game where you are required to guess a random word in 6 tries. To help you along the way, you won’t be allowed to re-use letters and you can only guess actual words that are in the dictionary.

Additionally, the letters you guess will be color-coded once you guess them and this is what they will mean. 

  • Green: This letter is a part of today’s answer and is in the correct position.
  • Yellow: This letter is a part of today’s answer but is in the wrong position. 
  • Grey: This letter is not a part of today’s answer. 

Using these aids, you can try your 6 guesses for the day to get the correct answer.

If you manage to get it right, Wordle makes it easier for you to share your results by copying a graphical representation to your clipboard which can simply be pasted and shared on most social media platforms. 

What is Wordle on Facebook?

Wordle on Facebook is the same game mentioned above. Wordle has been quite popular recently and is among the latest viral trends of 2022 (already). But there is no dedicated Wordle game for Facebook or an extension, at least at the moment.

The Wordle posts you are seeing on your Facebook timeline is probably your friends sharing their results of the game on their profile.

Why am I seeing a lot of Wordle posts on Facebook?

As mentioned above, Wordle is one of the first viral trends of 2022. No wonder, people — including your dear friends — are sharing their results on their Facebook profile. This is why you are seeing a lot of Wordle on Facebook.

This fun yet addictive puzzle game gives you some serious bragging rights among your friends which is why people playing the game love to share their results on Facebook.
