Game Instructions

How to Play Morsle

Guess the secret transmission in 6 attempts. Each guess must be a valid English word. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.

01

Choose How You Play

Letter Version: The standard way — classic 6-guess word deduction using normal letters on keyboard or screen.

Morsle Version: Adds the extra challenge of having to think and type in Morse code using the telegraph key paddles (• and —).
