Colorfle

Colorfle takes the Wordle formula into an unexpected place. Instead of guessing a word, you are trying to pin down a six-character hex color code. A colored tile sits at the top of the board showing the target hue. Your job is to figure out the six digits behind it within six attempts.

Hex codes run from 0 to 9 and A to F, which opens up a search space far wider than a typical five-letter word. The game narrows that down with tile feedback after every guess, so each row of results is a genuine clue rather than a dead end.

How to Play Colorfle

1

Look at the target color and make a guess

The target color tile sits at the top. Your first guess can be any code you choose. Pick something that spreads characters across the hex range to get broad feedback early. Press Enter to submit.

Read the tile feedback

Three feedback colours guide each guess:

  • Green correct character, correct position
  • Yellow character is in the code but needs a different slot
  • Gray character does not appear in the code anywhere

F is in the color code and in the correct spot.

8 is in the color code but in the wrong spot.

C is not in the color code in any spot.

Narrow down the code within six tries

Keep greens in the same slot on your next guess. Move yellow characters to a position they have not yet occupied. Eliminate gray characters entirely. With six guesses and 16 possible characters per slot, methodical deduction reaches the answer faster than random input.

The target color tile changes as you get closer, which gives a visual sense of how warm or cool your guesses are running.

Guessing a color instead of a word

Most guessing puzzles center on language. Colorfle shifts the target to something purely visual: a hex color code. The tile at the top of the board shows you the color you are chasing, but not the six characters behind it. That gap between what you can see and what you need to type is what makes each puzzle interesting.

Because hex codes use 16 distinct characters rather than 26 letters, the search space works differently from a word game. Early eliminations carry more weight. Ruling out four gray characters from a single guess leaves fewer options for the remaining positions than a similar move would in an alphabet-based puzzle.

How hex color codes work

A six-digit hex code describes a color by splitting it into three two-character pairs for red, green, and blue. The first two characters control how much red is in the mix. The next two handle green. The last two cover blue. Each pair runs from 00 (none) to FF (full intensity).

You do not need to memorize this to play Colorfle. But knowing that the first pair shifts the tile toward red while the last pair shifts it toward blue lets you make informed guesses from the start rather than working blind.

Strategy for narrowing the code faster

A strong opening guess covers as many distinct characters as possible. A code like 159ACF touches six different hex values and gives you immediate feedback across the full range. From there, lock greens in place and rotate yellows into open slots on the next attempt.

Gray tiles are your most useful information. Each one rules out a character entirely, shrinking what remains. Players who treat grays as confirmed eliminations rather than forgotten results tend to reach the answer well within the six-guess limit.

FAQs about Colorfle

Colorfle is a daily puzzle where you guess a six-character hex color code in six attempts. Tile feedback after each guess tells you which characters are correct, which need to move, and which to drop.
Hex codes use digits 0 through 9 and letters A through F. That is 16 possible values per slot across six positions.
Green means the character is in the right position. Yellow means it is somewhere in the code but not in that slot. Gray means it does not appear in the code at all.
Six guesses per puzzle. Each attempt must be a complete six-character hex code.
No prior knowledge is required. The feedback tiles do all the guiding. Some familiarity with how red, green, and blue channel values work can help you make smarter early guesses, but it is not necessary to enjoy the game.
Yes. Colorfle runs in any modern browser with no download or account required.
