The online word-guessing game Wordle caught the internet by storm last winter, flooding social media feeds with green, yellow and white boxes as users boasted about their wins or vented about their losses.

The game, which was purchased by The New York Times in January, has been reinvented in many forms. Most notably is the song recognition game Heardle, which was acquired by Spotify last month

Now, the Colorado Chamber of Commerce is reinventing the beloved Wordle game for a Colorado audience. Coloradle, which recently launched, features words that highlight the state’s unique culture, including words like trail and mountain.

The game, like Wordle, resets at midnight every day. Also like Wordle, Coloradle results can be shared on social media without revealing the answer. 

With Wordle, users get six tries to guess a five-letter word; Coloradle challenges players to guess words ranging from four to eight letters. 

Cynthia Meyer, vice president of communications at the Colorado Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement that Coloradle is a “celebration of everything we love about the Centennial State and [is] an engaging way to show off your knowledge of all things Colorado.”
