Beyond Dawlish
If you’ve dipped your toes into the viral world of Wordle, then get ready to dive deeper with Dordle—a game that’s like Wordle’s more challenging and chaotic cousin. Designed for the word puzzle enthusiast who wants more, Dordle takes the simplicity of Wordle and cranks up the pressure… by making you solve two puzzles at once.
What Is Dordle?
Dordle is a daily word game inspired by Wordle, created by developer Zach Gage and released by Gigaflop. The twist? Instead of guessing one five-letter word in six tries, you’re tasked with guessing two five-letter words simultaneously, with seven tries total.
Each guess you enter goes into both puzzles. The feedback is color-coded (just like Wordle):
-
%uD83D%uDFE9 Green means the letter is in the right place.
-
%uD83D%uDFE8 Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place.
-
%u2B1B%uFE0F Gray means the letter isn’t in the word at all.
So your guesses need to be strategic—you’re constantly balancing what works for both words at the same time.
%uD83E%uDDE0 Why Dordle Is Addictively Fun
Dordle ramps up the difficulty, but that’s exactly what makes it so compelling. It’s:
-
More challenging than Wordle, which keeps it interesting.
-
A great brain workout, pushing your deduction and vocabulary skills.
-
Perfect for competitive players—you can easily share your results and compare with friends.
-
Quick and satisfying—you get that “aha!” moment times two.

%uD83D%uDD0D Tips for Mastering Dordle
-
Start with a strong opener: Choose a word with lots of vowels and common consonants (e.g., “SLATE” or “CRANE”).
-
Watch both grids: A guess that helps one word might ruin progress on the other.
-
Take notes: Sometimes it helps to jot down possible words as the grids evolve.
-
Don't panic: Seven guesses feels tight, but it's doable with strategy.
%uD83E%uDDE1 Final Thoughts
Dordle is perfect for anyone who loves word games and is looking to up the ante. It's clever, frustrating, and super satisfying—especially when you pull off a double win.
