How to play Colorfle

  1. Pick three colors

    Choose the colors you think make the target. The first one is the base at 50 percent.

  2. Check the tiles

    Green is the right color in the right spot. Yellow is in the mix but in another spot. No highlight means it is not used.

  3. Read the accuracy

    A percentage shows how close your mixed color is to the target, even when the tiles are wrong.

  4. Fine tune the order

    Tap the result circle to compare with an earlier guess and fine tune the order.

A quick mixing guide

Colorfle mixes like light on a screen rather than paint in a pot, so results can surprise you. These rules of thumb still help:

  • Muddy or grey targets usually hide two colors from opposite sides of the wheel.
  • Bright, clean targets often have neighbors on the wheel, such as yellow and orange.
  • A pale target means white or a very light color is in the mix, often in first or second place.

Hard mode and practice

Once the daily puzzle feels easy, hard mode raises the stakes. Practice mode gives you as many rounds as you like, which is the best way to learn how the palette behaves. The Paint Edition mixes in a way closer to real paint, a fun change if you paint for real.

Colorfle tips

  • Find the base color first. It makes up half the mix, so it decides the overall hue.
  • The 20 percent color mostly shifts the shade a little warmer, cooler, lighter or darker.
  • If the accuracy jumps after a swap, the order was the problem, not the colors.
  • When your accuracy is already high, try a new order before you swap in a new color.

Colorfle questions

Is there a Colorfle hint for today?

Use the accuracy percentage as your hint. Swap two of your colors and watch it move. A jump means the colors are right and only the order was off.

Is Colorfle a New York Times game?

No. Colorfle is its own site at colorfle.com. It borrows the green and yellow tiles from Wordle but is not run by the NYT.

When does Colorfle reset?

A new Colorfle comes out every day at 5 PM in your own time zone.

Does the order of colors matter?

Yes. The first color is 50 percent of the mix, the second 30 and the third 20, so the same three colors in a new order make a different shade.

Is there an unlimited Colorfle?

Yes. Practice mode lets you play as many rounds as you like after the daily puzzle.
