Colordle
In Colordle you guess with color names. The higher the percent after each guess, the closer you are to the mystery color of the day.
A three step route to the answer
- Find the hue: test one color from each main area of the wheel and keep the best.
- Find the lightness: try a pale and a dark version of your best color.
- Find the name: list every name you know for that shade, from plain words to paint names.
Why some days take forever
The score tells you how close two colors look, but it says nothing about the name. You can sit at 99 percent with a color that is nearly identical and still be wrong, because the answer has a different name. On those days, stop changing the color and start changing the word.
Before you start Colordle
- Open with very different colors, such as red, green and blue, to find the right part of the wheel.
- When you are in the 90s, the hue is right. Now play with lightness and how strong the color is.
- Unusual names are fair game. If plain names stall, think of paint chart names like periwinkle or chartreuse.

The color's name is not listed here. When you stall at 99 percent, try other names for the same shade, such as paint chart names.
Is there a guess limit in Colordle?
No. You can keep guessing until you find it, and fewer guesses is better.
