It lives at a new URL,, but before you head there for your daily game, you should know that there are currently issues with how player statistics (including streaks, win percentages, and guess distribution) are being transferred from the old version to the new. But since I've only seen 3, so maybe I was just a newbie that day.Wordle, the extremely popular online puzzle, is now officially being run by The New York Times after its creator sold it a few weeks ago. I mention 3-pattern squares because I'm pretty sure the first day I tried this game I noticed each square had 4 patterns on it. In the other 'goals' I mention above clearing the last pattern helps you, because you can optimize your next move from anywhere (for either goal), but in this goal you simply try to avoid it. Longest _continuous_ combo: the game doesn't track this or penalize you for 'dead ends' but I've been having fun trying to go the longest possible without hitting a 'dead end' - meaning clearing the last pattern from a tile and choosing to resume from any other space.

Best score on a 3-pattern-tile board in this case is 45. Longest combo that clears the board: this means avoiding multi-matches as much as possible. On a normal random board the best I've done is 29, but someone else in this thread said they got 25, which is pretty impressive. In theory, on a 3-pattern-tile board, the best possible score is 15 (if there was an exact match for every tile, which there never is). This seems to me to be the most challenging. Shortest combo that clears the board: this means looking for as many multi-match (or better 'all match') tiles as possible.

There are three possible goals, and I don't think the game makers care which one you go for:
