Can't wait for more Wordle?

No problem! Here are five hundred word puzzles that use exactly the same skills. You can do them at your own pace, wherever you like.

  • Suitable for all ages and skill levels. Puzzles are sorted by difficulty into Easy, Medium, Hard and Fiendish levels. Too easy? Move up a level!
  • The puzzles in this book help you train analytical skills and improve mental agility. Each increasing difficulty level uses a more elaborate vocabulary and requires greater finesse to beat the game. Fiendish-level puzzles can be a real challenge, even for dedicated word gamers!
  • Big, full-size 8.5" x 11" format means large, clear text and plenty of space on the page for your notes - no more squinting at small print.
  • Ideal for vacations, road trips, or any time you just want to take a relaxing break from screen time.
  • Play solo, or with friends and family. A great way to get kids thinking logically!

Five letters of fun!

Each puzzle has a five-letter word for you to figure out. Previous guesses display in the puzzle, showing whether their letters are in the target word. When there’s enough information for a good player to figure out the answer, it’s your turn!

  • Gray letters in white squares aren’t in the word at all, so you can eliminate them.
  • White letters in gray squares are in the word, but are in the wrong position.
  • White letters in black squares are in the correct position.
  • Use the alphabet tracker to cross out the eliminated letters so you can identify the remaining candidates and figure out the answer.
  • Hints guide you in the right direction. If there are multiple possible answers, the hint lets you know your answer is correct. Hints are not on the same page as the puzzle, so you can choose whether or not you want to use them.
  • Write your answer in the blank boxes at the bottom! All the answers are listed in the back.

    Reader's Guide

    Q: Who is this book for?

    A: This puzzle book is a hit with Wordle fans, word-game enthusiasts, families, students, and anyone who enjoys deduction, vocabulary, and logic puzzles. It is particularly useful for readers who want more than one daily puzzle and prefer a substantial collection they can work through at their own pace.

    Q: How do the puzzles work?

    A: Each puzzle gives you a series of previous five-letter guesses together with clues showing which letters are absent, present in the wrong position, or correctly placed. Your task is to use that information to deduce the hidden word and write your answer in the spaces provided.

    Q: Do I need to know how to play Wordle already?

    A: No. The rules are simple and are explained in the book. Anyone familiar with basic word puzzles can start quickly, while experienced Wordle players can move directly to the more difficult sections.

    Q: How difficult are the puzzles?

    A: The 500 puzzles are divided into Easy, Medium, Hard, and Fiendish levels. This lets beginners start with more approachable challenges while experienced players can move up to puzzles requiring a broader vocabulary and more careful deduction.

    Q: Are hints provided?

    A: Yes. Each puzzle has a hint available if you need an extra push in the right direction. The hints are kept away from the puzzle itself, so you can choose whether to use them rather than accidentally seeing them while you play.

    Q: Are the answers included?

    A: Yes. Complete answers are provided at the back of the book, allowing you to check your solution or move on if a particular puzzle has you completely stumped.

    Q: Can more than one person play?

    A: Yes. The puzzles work well individually, but they are also easy to solve collaboratively with friends or family. Discussing possible words and eliminating candidates can turn the book into a simple group game without requiring any additional equipment.

    Q: Does the book help develop useful skills as well as providing entertainment?

    A: Yes. Solving the puzzles exercises vocabulary, pattern recognition, elimination, logical reasoning, and mental flexibility. Because the difficulty increases progressively, the book also encourages players to refine their solving strategies as they work through it.

    Q: Why choose the print edition instead of playing online?

    A: The book provides 500 puzzles with no screen, account, internet connection, or daily limit. Its full 8.5 × 11-inch format gives each puzzle plenty of working space, including an alphabet tracker for eliminating letters and boxes for recording your answer, making it equally suitable for the coffee table, vacation, classroom, or family game night.
