How to play Wordle?

The rules of Wordle are simple. It would be best if you guessed a five-letter word by typing any word of the same length. The game will tell you which letters are in the correct position (green), which letters are in the word but not in the right position (yellow), and which letters are not in the word at all (grey). You must use this feedback to narrow your guesses and find the hidden word.
