Dordle
Two words. One guess at a time.
What is Dordle?
Dordle asks you to solve two different five-letter words at the same time. Every valid guess goes to both unsolved boards. You have seven shared guesses, so a useful word needs to teach you something about both answers. This is an independently built version and is not affiliated with the original game publisher.
How to play
- Type a five-letter English word or use the on-screen keyboard, then press Guess.
- Read the feedback on both boards. A check mark means the letter is in the correct position. A circle means the letter belongs in that answer but elsewhere. A cross means that board has no remaining unmatched copy of the letter.
- Use the clues to narrow both answers. A solved board stops taking new guesses, while the other board continues.
- Solve both words before your seventh shared guess to win. New puzzle makes another pair of answers without a daily limit.
How repeated letters work
Each board checks repeated letters independently. The game marks exact matches first, then assigns remaining copies of a letter to misplaced guesses. If an answer has one E and your guess has two, at most one E can receive a useful clue unless both are exact matches. A gray cross on one board does not tell you what happens on the other board.
Strategy for two boards
Begin with a familiar word that tests several different letters. Compare the two feedback rows before your next guess. A letter can be correct on one board and absent on the other, so keep the clues separate. The keyboard shows two small marks per letter, one for each board.
Once you have solved one side, use the remaining guesses entirely for the unsolved answer. A guess submitted after a board is solved no longer changes that board. If a word looks possible on both boards, check the positions carefully before spending a guess.
A worked two-board clue
Imagine the answers are APPLE and BERRY, and you submit ALLEY. On the APPLE board, the first A is exact, one L is present but misplaced, the second L has no remaining match, E is present, and Y is absent. On the BERRY board, Y is exact and E is present, while A and both Ls are absent. The same guess can therefore give two very different clues.
That example also shows why repeated letters need care. If you see one useful L and one crossed-out L, the answer may contain only one L. The clue is calculated separately for each answer, so do not copy a deduction from one board to the other.
Frequently asked questions
How many guesses do I get?
Seven guesses total. Each accepted guess is used on both unsolved boards, so there are not seven guesses per word.
Can I guess any five letters?
The guess must be a five-letter entry in the included game word list. If it is absent, the status message says so and the guess does not use a turn.
Does a solved board keep changing?
No. Its solved row remains visible, and later shared guesses apply only to boards that still need an answer.
What do the two keyboard marks mean?
Each letter key has two small clue marks. The first refers to board one and the second to board two. A check mark, circle, and cross carry the same meanings as the marks inside each board. An empty mark means that letter has not produced a clue for that board yet.
Can I continue after one board is solved?
Yes. Keep entering five-letter guesses until the other board is solved or you use the seventh guess. The solved board keeps its final rows visible and does not consume new feedback.
Is there a daily puzzle?
No. This page offers unlimited fresh puzzles. Press New puzzle whenever you want another pair.
