Does Vagudle show which letters are green, yellow or gray?

No. Vagudle only gives you the count of green, yellow and gray letters for each guess, not which letters they are. Cells stay unpainted until you mark them yourself, so you deduce which letters are which. Optional Auto-Gray and Auto-Green settings can fill in a few cells for you, but only once the result is already certain, so they save clicks rather than giving away new information.

How is Vagudle different from Wordle?

Wordle colors every letter for you. Vagudle only reveals how many letters of each color a guess has, so players have to work out which letters are right, misplaced or absent. It also has unlimited plays, harder dictionaries, up to 11 tries, custom challenges and an optional daily mode with a leaderboard.

Vagudle: A Harder Word Guessing Game

Name: Vagudle
Author: King-Tajin

Vagudle is a free word-guessing game inspired by Hardle, built for more challenge: unlimited plays, harder dictionaries, and no pesky daily limit to get in your way. There's also an optional daily mode with its own leaderboard. Built and maintained by King-Tajin.

How to Play

Type a word and press Enter to submit a guess. You have 11 tries to find the hidden word.

How the Clues Work

Unlike Wordle, Vagudle does not tell you which letters are green, yellow or gray. After each guess it only shows how many letters of each color are in that row: green for the right letter in the right spot, yellow for the right letter in the wrong spot, and gray for letters not in the word. You work out which specific letters earned each color by deduction, then select a brush and click or drag cells to paint them yourself.

Features

Variable Word Length

Play with anywhere between 4 and 7-letter words via Settings.

Hard Mode

Solutions are selected from uncommon words and the player is limited to 9 guesses.

Daily

A new word unlocks once a day, alternating between 4- and 5-letter, normal and hard mode. Track your streak on the leaderboard, and subscribe to a calendar reminder so you never miss one.

Color Counts

Each row shows how many green, yellow and gray letters the guess has, but not which letters they are.

Cell Painting

Select a brush and click or drag across cells to mark which letters you think are green, yellow or gray.

Auto-Gray

Automatically grays out letters from fully-gray rows.

Auto-Green

Fills in user marked correct letters across all rows automatically.

Custom Challenges

Open Settings and go to the Challenge tab. Pick a dictionary, choose how many guesses to allow, type your secret word, and hit Generate Link. Share the link to let others play your custom word with exactly the settings you chose. Results never count toward the recipient's stats.

Discord Integration

Use the /vagudle_challenge slash command to generate a challenge link directly from Discord, or compete in head-to-head Duels on a live leaderboard.

AI Assistant Integration

Connect an AI assistant to Vagudle's public MCP server and ask it to create a custom challenge for you. It can ask about difficulty, word length, theme and hints, pick a real word, and hand back a link to play or share. Setup is a one-time connector, see the MCP server documentation.

Open Source

Vagudle is open source on GitHub and based on react-wordle. Contributions and feedback are welcome.
