How to Play Kordel

The free, ad-free word guessing game for solo play, friends, and family.

What is Kordel?

Kordel is a free word guessing game inspired by Wordle and Lingo. You guess a secret word one attempt at a time. Each guess reveals color clues that tell you how close you are. No ads, no login, no cost.

You can play alone, challenge a friend on the same device, or compete online with up to 10 players in the same room.

The Basic Rules

  1. Choose a word length (3, 4, 5, or 6 letters) before the game starts.
  2. Type any valid word of that length and press Enter.
  3. Each tile flips to show a color clue.
  4. Use the clues to guess the secret word within the allowed number of tries.

Game Modes

Solo Mode

The computer picks a random word. Guess it within the allowed number of tries. Great for a quick solo challenge or practice.

2-Player Mode (Local)

Two players take turns on the same device. Each player secretly enters a word for the other to guess. After 5 rounds, the player with the most wins takes the match.

Online Multiplayer

Host a game room and share the code with friends. Up to 10 players can join. One player sets a secret word, the rest race to guess it. Then the role passes to the next player. Everyone takes a turn as the word-setter.

Optional Settings

Easy Mode (Great for Kids)

The first letter of the secret word is revealed upfront before any guesses. Ideal for young children learning to play, or anyone who wants a gentler challenge.

Timer Mode

Each guess must be submitted within a time limit: 30, 60, or 90 seconds. If the timer runs out before you submit, the turn is lost. Adds pressure and excitement for competitive games.
