Septle
Seven letters instead of five, and eight tries instead of six. Septle keeps the Wordle colors you know but makes every row a bigger puzzle.

How Septle works
Type a seven letter word. Every guess must be a real seven letter word, sent with the enter key.
Read all seven tiles. Green is the right letter in the right place, yellow is in the word but somewhere else, gray is not in the word.
Keep narrowing. Use the colors to build the next guess. You have eight rows.
Try the bonus words. After the main word you can play the extra words of the day. They are optional and do not affect your streak.
Why seven letters changes things
With five letters you can often guess the word from a single green. With seven, there are far more patterns, and plurals and verb forms make many words look alike. The extra two tries help, but the real change is how you think. Instead of hunting single letters, you look for chunks: a prefix like RE or UN, a double letter, or an ending like TION cut short to fit.
Eight tries sounds generous, but longer words hide more letters.
A three row plan
- Row one: a word with four different vowels or common letters.
- Row two: seven fresh letters you have not tried.
- Row three: start placing what you know, and keep a likely ending in mind.

Septle strategy
- Long words hide common endings. Test ING, ED and ER early so you know whether to build around them.
- Open with a word heavy in vowels and common consonants, such as one using A, E, I, R, S and T.
- Two rows with very different letters often tell you more than one careful guess.
- Seven letter words often end in ING, ION or ERS, so test endings early.
