How the game works
KWordle follows the classic Wordle gameplay:- Guess a 5-letter word - You have 6 attempts to find the target word
- Get visual feedback - After each guess, see which letters are correct:
- ■ (filled square) = Letter is in the correct position
- □ (empty square) = Letter is in the word but wrong position
- × (cross) = Letter is not in the word
- Win the game - Use the clues to deduce the word before running out of attempts
KWordle uses ES5 JavaScript and includes polyfills for maximum compatibility with older Kindle models running firmware 5.6.1.1 or newer.
