How To Play Extendle?

The game will give you the secret word from the get-go, which is the green word at the bottom of the grid. Your job is to make guesses based on the color rules while not matching the solution word as long as possible.

You also enter a valid 5-letter word in each try. After submitting your guess, the tiles will change their colors. Here are the rules:

If a tile turns green, you must use that letter again in the same spot in your next guess.

For yellow letters, you must use them again in the subsequent attempt. However, their positions must be changed.

When a tile grays out, you can’t use that letter again in the next try.

It’s a win if you can make 5 guesses (5 rows) without reaching the secret word. But feel free to last the game longer. It’s a challenge!

There are two modes in the game. For daily mode, you will have one puzzle each day. A new game will appear after midnight, regardless of loss or win. If you want to practice more, switch to Unlimited mode, where you can solve as many puzzles as you want.

Tips For Playing

To extend your winning streak in Extendle, keep in mind some tricks as follows:

Since you know the solution word from the beginning, start with letters that don’t belong to the secret word. These letters will gray out after your guess, and you can’t use them again. Keep forming 5-letter words using the remaining letters.

When you have to use a letter from the solution word, remember to put it in a different spot.

Make use of the Unlimited mode for practicing. If you get stuck, you can change the secret word by clicking on the Unlimited button.
