Cardle

1. Pick a rank and then a suit to place a card — five different cards make a guess. Press Enter to play it.
2. Each card flips to show two clues: the top half is its rank, the bottom half its suit.
3. Green means that rank or suit is right for this spot.
4. Yellow means it's in the hidden hand, but in a different spot.
5. Gray means it isn't in the hidden hand at all. A card with both halves green is exactly right.
6. Find all five cards, in order, within 6 guesses to keep your streak going.

When does the Cardle hand change?

Every day at midnight in your own time zone. Everyone on the same calendar date gets the same puzzle number and the same hand.

Can the hidden hand contain the same rank or suit twice?

Yes. The hand is five different cards dealt from one 52-card deck, so ranks and suits can repeat — but the exact same card never appears twice.

How do repeated ranks and suits get colored?

Like letters in a word puzzle: each card in the hidden hand can only color one match. Exact-spot matches turn green first, then any left over turn yellow, and the rest turn gray.

Can I use my keyboard?

Yes. Type A, 2–9, 0 (for 10), J, Q or K for the rank and S, H, D or C for the suit. Enter plays your guess and Backspace removes a card.
