GETTING STARTED

How World Wardle Works

A global, asynchronous competition built from publicly shared daily Wordle results. No sign-up required — just post your score on Bluesky and you're in.

Three Simple Steps

1

Solve the Daily Wordle

Play Wordle each day like you normally would. No special app or registration needed.

2

Share on Bluesky

Post your Wordle result to Bluesky. Our system automatically finds and collects your score from the standard Wordle share format.

3

Get Matched & Compete

Once the puzzle closes globally, you're randomly paired against another player. Lower score wins the battle. Points add up across the week.

Daily Timeline

Wordle puzzles advance at the International Date Line (UTC+12). At any moment, three puzzles are tracked globally:

New puzzle released

At IDL midnight (12:00 UTC), a new Wordle number begins for the first timezone. We start collecting scores immediately.

Puzzle sweeps westward

Over 24 hours, each timezone gets the same puzzle. Players post their scores on Bluesky as they solve it.

Puzzle closes globally

When the last timezone finishes (48 hours after release), the puzzle is complete. Everyone has had a fair chance to play.

Battles run

2 hours after close (14:00 UTC), players are randomly paired. Scores are compared, winners determined, and daily points calculated.
