A version of Wordle for the whole class. The teacher runs it on a projector and students guess the hidden word together, one game per class period.
How to play
- The teacher sets a hidden word, or the game picks one.
- Students call out a guess of the correct length.
- Enter the guess. Each letter is colored to show a correct letter in the right spot, a correct letter in the wrong spot, or a letter not in the word.
- Keep guessing until the class finds the word or runs out of tries.
