About
This dataset contains the official lexicon of valid words used in the popular daily word puzzle game, Wordle. The game's objective is to guess a hidden five-letter word within six attempts. After each guess, the game provides feedback by changing the colour of tiles to show how close your guess was to the correct word. This dataset was created by inspecting the game's page source and includes two distinct lists: one for all valid words that can be submitted as guesses, and another for all valid words that can be solutions. It offers a valuable resource for analysing Wordle's mechanics and exploring the derivation of optimal strategies.
