Bookdle

Bookdle is a word-guessing game that takes place in the realm of books and is based on Wordle. Every answer in the game is related to literature, whether it's the name of an author, a character, a literary term, a lyrical idea, or something that ardent readers know about.

Bookdle is more than just a word guessing game, which is a fascinating twist. The game also provides weekly book recommendations organized by genre, and sometimes users can buy books directly from Amazon. In general, it seems like a mix between a puzzle mini-game and a book recommendation corner made just for people who love books.

How to Play Bookdle

Rules of the Game

You have six chances to pick the right five-letter word. You can guess any term that is valid. The system gives feedback after each try by color-coding the letters. Green means the letter is in the right place; yellow means the letter is in the word but not in the right place; and gray means the letter is not part of the answer.

Wordle and Bookdle are similar in how they play, but getting the right answer in Bookdle is frequently more about what you know about books than just logic based on letters.

Help and Hints

As you play Bookdle, a hint system opens up. At start, players don't get much help, so they have to make a few blind guesses. After a certain number of tries (usually three), you can uncover a clue, which is usually a tip about books or a literary theme. The game also has a part where you may get book recommendations based on categories like memoirs, finance, fiction, and more. This adds to the experience beyond just playing the game.

Tips and Tricks

There is no sure way to win in Bookdle, however there are certain tips that can help you predict better:

  • Start with five-letter terms that are common to show more than one letter at a time.
  • Put words that have to do with books, names, or literary terms first.
  • It's not always enough to just get the letters right; sometimes where they go is more essential than you realize.
  • If you're having trouble, try looking at the problem from the point of view of book-related concepts instead than just using general words.


Bookdle isn't a game that makes you stress out or encourages you to compete based on your score. It's light and fun, and it works your memory more than it tests your intellect. You can play this game every day, guess a few words, and think about the books you've read at the same time. If Bookdle is a little too tame for you, you might like to try a different version with a whole different subject, like Beerdle.
