Don't Wordle: The Puzzle That's Surprisingly Hard to Win

Don't Wordle is a free daily puzzle that flips Wordle's objective: instead of guessing the hidden 5-letter word, you must avoid it. The game uses the same color-coded feedback (green, yellow, gray) but forces you to respect the information from previous guesses by reusing green letters in place and yellow letters in new spots, making it surprisingly difficult to win. The site includes a 'valid words remaining' counter, undo options, and various strategies, including a 'Purist' mode that bans undos and common words only.
