10 Letter Wordle: guess the ten-letter word
The rules you know, with ten letters instead of five. Long words reveal many letters per guess, but you still get only six tries to place them all.
How 10-letter mode works
- Guess the hidden 10-letter word in six tries.
- Green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word somewhere else, and gray means it is not in the word.
- Every guess must be a real word. We accept 17,721 10-letter words, in US and UK spellings.
- Rounds are unlimited: when you finish, the next word is one tap away.
The answer is one of 640 common 10-letter words, so you will not be asked to find an obscure word you have never seen. Hints, hard mode, XP and badges all work like in the five-letter game.

How it compares to the five-letter game
With 10 letters each guess tests more letters, so you usually find the vowels quickly. The hard part is placing them: there are many more 10-letter words, and common endings like -ING, -ION and -ER can send you down the wrong path. If you like the classic Wordle format but want a change of pace, switching length is the easiest way to make it feel new again.
