What is the Wordle Hard Mode and how do players find it and turn it on? It may surprise fans of the phenomenon that is Wordle that the simple word guessing game actually has an even tougher version for players to attempt. The Wordle difficulty settings aren’t particularly obvious, in fact, the game’s website is so straightforward fans can be forgiven for missing them. Here’s where to find the Wordle challenge mode and what it does to the game.
How do you turn on Wordle Hard Mode?
To turn on Wordle Hard Mode players need to click on the little cog icon in the top-right of the screen, directly to the right of the Wordle title. This brings up the settings and at the very top of these is “Hard Mode.” Simply turn the sliding button on the right to green by clicking or touching it and the new tougher difficulty will be activated. To turn it off, just repeat this step until the switch goes grey.
What is the difference between Wordle Hard Mode and normal mode?
Wordle’s Hard Mode is described in the settings as “any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.” This simply means that players cannot put in a word with a completely different set of letters in order to uncover more letters — if any green letters show up, they must be chosen in the next word guessed, along with any yellow letters. Many Wordle players are probably already playing exactly like this, but anyone struggling with similar words or trying to play tactically may find this version more of a challenge.
