What is Absurdle?

Absurdle is a unique twist on the classic word puzzle Wordle, designed to be deliberately adversarial.
Unlike Wordle, which secretly selects a fixed target word before you start, Absurdle does not commit to any word at the beginning.
Instead, the game dynamically changes its secret word as you play โ€” doing everything it can to avoid giving you the correct answer for as long as possible.

In short:
๐Ÿง  Wordle tries to help you guess.
๐Ÿ˜ˆ Absurdle tries to stop you from winning.


Absurdle Game Rules

  1. You have infinite guesses, but the game will resist you at every turn.
  2. Each guess must be a valid 5-letter English word.
  3. After each guess, Absurdle gives color-coded feedback:
    • ๐ŸŸฉ Green โ€” correct letter in the correct position.
    • ๐ŸŸจ Yellow โ€” correct letter in the wrong position.
    • โฌœ Gray โ€” letter not in the secret word (according to the current word set).
  4. Unlike Wordle, the secret word changes dynamically after each guess to remain consistent with all feedback so far.
  5. The game ends only when your guess matches all previous constraints, forcing Absurdle to accept your word as the answer.

How To Play Absurdle?

  1. Go to the Absurdle game page (link below).
  2. Type any valid 5-letter word as your first guess.
  3. Observe the color feedback and adjust your next guess accordingly.
  4. Remember: the feedback is strategically chosen to prolong the game, not to help you.
  5. Keep guessing until you logically corner Absurdle into admitting your word is the only valid one left.
  6. Most players typically take 5โ€“7 guesses to โ€œwinโ€.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip: Try to use diverse letters early to narrow down the possibilities faster.
