Wordle is a web browser game that you can play at this link. You get 6 chances to guess a single 5 letter word and there is only 1 word per day.
This gist contains the contents of the dictionary Wordle uses as of January 27th, 2022. Wordle actually uses two dictionaries:
Lawords that can be guessed and which can be the word of the dayTawords that can be guessed but are never selected as the word of the day
La contains 2,315 words, Ta contains 10,657 words. The lists are sorted alphabetically and only contain unique words. No word shows up in both lists, making for a total of 12,972 which can be guessed.
Caution! The word list La is sorted alphabetically here in this gist. However, Wordle's client-side JavaScript sorts the list in chronological order. Watch out for spoilers if you inspect the game's source!
