Made with 100% standard Excel - no VBA
Have you ever wanted to play Wordle, but didn't want to spend too much time away from Excel? Today is your lucky day!
A very hidden tab houses the list of 12,000 possible five letter words that can be used as guesses. A second very hidden tabs keeps a randomized list of 2,000 answers. Each day at midnight a new answer is chosen from the list. The list has been randomized to not spoil Wordle answers in the real game.
The board and keyboard use a lot of conditional formatting to track when a letter is a match, an exact match or not a match. Also, the row is highlighted red when a non-valid guess word is entered.
That's a very brief overview. I'll update this post with more of step by step tutorial later on.
In the meantime, please download and enjoy this version of Wordle in Excel.
