About /wɚdəl/

/wɚdəl/ turns Wordle into a pronunciation puzzle where players decode North American English sounds using IPA symbols in 12 guesses.

Spelling will not save you in /wɚdəl/. This Wordle-inspired puzzle swaps ordinary letters for symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), turning familiar English pronunciation into the key to solving the mystery word. 

THINK IN SOUNDS INSTEAD OF LETTERS

The game uses pronunciations from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, a resource that maps English words to their sounds. Its focus is North American English, although some pronunciations may differ from the way you speak. Certain details, such as aspiration, are simplified to keep the puzzle approachable.

Twelve attempts give you room to test possibilities, study the feedback, and narrow down the answer. Careful attention to individual sounds can make the difference between solving the puzzle and running out of guesses.

How to Play

Type an IPA-based pronunciation guess and check the color feedback after each attempt. Use the clues to adjust the sounds and their positions until you identify the target pronunciation or use all 12 tries.
