Xordle
Two answers, one board and not a single letter in common. Xordle colors your guesses against both secret words at once, so every green or yellow could belong to either.
Thinking in two words
Xordle feels like Dordle squeezed onto one row. The trick is that a yellow letter does not tell you which word it belongs to. Use the no shared letters rule to sort them. Say a letter is green in spot one of a guess, and you find another letter that must also go in spot one. That second letter has to belong to the other word.

Before you start Xordle
- Because the words share no letters, every letter you place in one word is ruled out of the other.
- Daily puzzles often have a theme, and the theme is not always obvious. Think about how the two words might link.
- Puzzles marked with a dice icon have no theme, so do not look for one.
