Play Wordle 1v1 With Friends

Wordle is brilliant on your own, but it is even better when there is someone to beat. Cowordle turns the game you love into a head-to-head duel: you and a friend go after the same hidden word, taking turns, and whoever cracks it in the fewest guesses takes the win. It is multiplayer Wordle the way it should be, quick, competitive and a little bit ruthless.

Getting started takes seconds. There is nothing to download and no account to create. You just start a game, send your friend the invite, and play. Whether they are sitting next to you or on the other side of the country, you can settle who is better at Wordle once and for all. And when you fancy a solo round between duels, our single-player Wordle Unlimited game is always one click away.

How Cowordle Works

Playing a friend is as simple as it gets:

  1. Start a game. Tap to create a new Cowordle match. We will set up a fresh hidden word for the two of you.
  2. Send the invite. Copy your unique invite link and send it to your friend however you like, by message, chat or email. When they open it, they drop straight into your game.
  3. Play turn by turn. You each take it in turns to guess the word, using the same green, yellow and grey clues. Every guess your rival makes appears on your board live, and a shared countdown keeps you both honest.
  4. See who wins. Whoever guesses the word first, in the fewest tries, wins the round. Then hit the rematch and go again.

No lobbies, no waiting rooms, no faff. Just an invite link and a friend who thinks they can beat you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cowordle?

Cowordle is a multiplayer version of Wordle that you play against a friend. Instead of solving alone, the two of you go head-to-head on the same hidden word, taking turns, and whoever solves it in the fewest guesses wins.

How do I play Cowordle with a friend?

Start a new game, copy the invite link we give you, and send it to your friend. When they open the link they join your match, and you take turns guessing the word until someone wins. It is the easiest way to play Wordle 1v1.

Do we need to be in the same place?

Not at all. Your match runs on a shareable link, so your friend can join from any device, anywhere. It is perfect for playing Wordle with friends and family who live far away.

Is Cowordle free to play?

Completely free. There is no subscription, no paywall and no charge, however many rounds you play.

Do I need to download an app or create an account?

No. Cowordle runs straight in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and no sign-up needed for you or your friend.

How many people can play?

Cowordle is built for two players, one against one. You and a friend, same word, best guesser wins.

Can we play more than once?

As many times as you like. When a round ends you can start a rematch instantly with a fresh word, so a quick game easily turns into a long unlimited session.

How is Cowordle different from normal Wordle?

Regular Wordle is a solo puzzle. Cowordle keeps the exact same rules and clues but adds a live opponent, turning it into a competitive, turn-by-turn duel with a winner at the end.

Is this the official Wordle from The New York Times?
