What is Thirdle?
Thirdle is a daily word puzzle made by the Swedish studio Avionista. It takes the Wordle idea and stretches it into a tiny crossword: instead of one hidden word, you solve three linked words at once.
You get six attempts and start with two correct letters already placed. After each guess the letters change colour: green for the right word and position, orange for the right word but wrong position, purple for a letter that belongs in a different word, and black for a letter not used at all.
