Wordle except each line contains a lie. (Like Fibble)
What is Lirdle?
Lirdle is a Wordle-style daily puzzle with a twist: every guess you submit contains one lie. You must identify which letter in each row is false in order to zero in on the real word of the day.
Editor takes
Lirdle's lie-per-line twist turns every guess into a witty dance of truth and falsehood, a crossword solver's delight.
The deduction core is sharp, but the hint system and duplicate/non-word penalties clutter what should be a clean, fair challenge.
Navigating Lirdle feels like a map where every false clue is a detour—but the true word is the destination worth finding.
How to play Lirdle
You get a set number of guesses, and each guess must be a five-letter word. After submitting, one letter in that row is marked as a lie — you can click on any filled letter to cycle through markers for lie, truth, or neutral. Use those markers to deduce the correct word while keeping track of which clues are unreliable.
Tips & strategy
- Click on each letter after a guess to explicitly mark it as a lie, truth, or neutral — this helps you avoid reusing false letters.
- Pay attention to the pattern of lies across rows; a letter that appears in multiple lies may still be in the target word, just in a different position.
- Use the opt-in hints if you get stuck — they can flag duplicate words or non-words, but they cost available hint tokens.
- Track how close you are with the possibility counter, which updates as you eliminate letters and positions.
- Try common starting words that use frequent letters, but remember that one letter in your guess will always be a lie.
