At this point, it's almost impossible not to find someone you don't know Wordle, or who has never played this entertaining game of guessing words. In the heat of the popularity achieved throughout the world, all kinds of versions and variants of the original game have been appearing. And in all languages. Like for example the wordle in french.
If by chance you are one of the few people on this planet who still do not know Wordle, we will briefly explain what it is. It is a game whose visual appearance is similar to that of the classics Crosswords. As in these well-known puzzles, the goal is to guess the hidden word. To do this, we only have six attempts.
Thus, after each attempt, Wordle shows us which of the letters we have entered are valid and which are not. And of the valid ones, which ones are in their position or out of it. They are small but valuable clues that will help us find the hidden word.
It must be said that Wordle was originally created to play in English, although today there are adaptations to almost all major languages. Of course, there are also several websites and applications to play Wordle in French, as we will see below. Francophones can thus enjoy an entertaining game. On the other hand, students of French, whatever their age, will be able to put their knowledge to the test. Do you dare to try it?
Word
Word (in Spanish, the "word") is one of the pages most frequented by lovers of the Wordle in French. In it we find every day a new word, a new challenge.
By launching our first word at random, the web will indicate our mistakes and successes through a color code:
- Grey: the letter is not part of the hidden word.
- Orange: the letter is in the word, although in a different position.
- Verde: the letter is in the word in the correct position.
With the results of the first attempt, we can now refine the second a little more. And so on, until you find the hidden word. If we get it right, the website shows a button in the window to access the meaning of the word and another button to share (share) our success on social media.
In the options of the upper bar of Le Mot we will find a brief explanation of the game mechanics. Also a configuration options menu, a statistics panel and our history as a player.

Wordle Français
There isn't much to add about this game, as it's practically a carbon copy of Le Mot, albeit with a sharper and somewhat more attractive visual design. The rest is the same: five-letter word, six possible attempts, etc.
Also the keyboard that appears at the bottom of the screen Wordle Français it is updated as we progress in our attempts to find the word. It is an important help to avoid repeating letters that we have used before.
And, as in the previous case, if we manage to get the word right, we have the possibility of sharing our achievement with other users through different channels.
