11 Letter Wordle: guess the eleven-letter word
The rules you know, with eleven letters instead of five. Long words reveal many letters per guess, but you still get only six tries to place them all.
How 11-letter mode works
- Guess the hidden 11-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 13,317 11-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 387 common 11-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 11 letters each guess tests more letters, so you usually find the vowels quickly. The hard part is placing them: there are many more 11-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.
