What is Hexle?
Hexle applies Wordle's feedback system to hexadecimal color codes. You enter six characters, receive six attempts, and read green, yellow, or gray tiles to narrow down the answer. The twist is that the target is a color rather than a word, and the page gives you a critical hint: the #Hexle heading at the top is rendered in the exact color you are hunting.
How to play Hexle
Look at the #Hexle title at the top of the page. Its color is the target.
Enter a six-character code using only hexadecimal digits (A–F and 0–9), then press Enter. The tiles show how close the guess is: green means the character is correct and in the right position, yellow means it appears elsewhere in the answer, and gray means it does not appear in the answer.
Use this feedback, along with the title’s color, to refine each guess. Solve the code within six attempts.
Feedback is based on position. A yellow tile means the character appears in the answer, but in a different slot. It does not indicate that the color is warm or close. There is no distance readout or warmer-or-colder signal. Since hex codes can repeat characters, a yellow B does not show which of the six positions contains it. The page heading’s color is the only perceptual hint.
Why play Hexle?
Hexle bridges word-game mechanics and color work without requiring new rules. You already understand green, yellow, and gray from Wordle, but here you are decoding a color while the grid offers no perceptual help beyond the heading. The game becomes a two-step problem: estimate the color visually from the heading, then use positional logic to pin down the exact characters. It is compact, free, has no account or ads, and fits inside a short break.
Tips for solving faster
Use your opening guess to test character coverage rather than guessing a color you think is correct. ABCDEF and 012345 together test every hexadecimal digit, a luxury unavailable in word puzzles.
In each hex pair, the first character—positions 1, 3, and 5—has more influence on the color than the second character—positions 2, 4, and 6. A green character in an odd position narrows the answer more than one in an even position.
If several characters are yellow, check the heading to see which part of the color space fits before making your next guess.
Common questions
How many characters and attempts do I get?
Each guess has six characters, and you get six attempts.
Which characters are valid?
The hexadecimal digits A–F and 0–9.
What do the tile colors mean?
Green means the character is in the correct position. Yellow means it appears in the answer but in a different position. Gray means it does not appear in the answer, subject to the usual rules for repeated characters.
Does the game use color distance or warmer/colder feedback?
No. The feedback is positional only. The page heading’s color is the only perceptual hint.
