Well, if you don’t know, it’s a popular online web based game called “Wordle“. The objective is to guess the a daily 6 letter word in six tries.
The games helps with some hints when you play. For example, if you guess a letter correct in one try, the letter will turn “green” indicating that its correctly placed. A letter will turn “yellow” indicating that its in the word but its positioning is incorrect. A letter which turns “grey” indicates that it’s not part of the word.
