What is 'Wordle'? Here's everything you need to know.

Quick Summary:

The waning days of 2021 introduced us to a new genre of tweet: Green, yellow, and grey boxes arranged in a 5-wide grid with as many as six rows.

The tweets also include some indecipherable-to-outsiders numbers and a funny, little non-word: Wordle.

A "Hard Mode" switch requires all guesses after the first one to account for revealed hints.(So turning back to our previous "APPLE" example, every guess after "PAPER" would have to use "A," "E," and two letters "P," with one of the always plugged into the third box.) Finally, there's a "Color Blind Mode" which uses high contrast colors for those who need or prefer it.
