There\u2019s only one official way to play the game.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, there\u2019s one official version of Wordle, and it\u2019s at the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.powerlanguage.co.uk\/wordle\/\">powerlanguage.co.uk\/wordle\/<\/a>\u00a0domain. There\u2019s no official app on any mobile platform. If you search for Wordle on any of the popular app stores and find an app with that name, it\u2019s not the original game.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s no guarantee that an app called \u201cWordle\u201d on the App Store or Google Play is malicious. In fact, it could be someone looking to jump in on the hype by releasing a copycat game with the same name in an attempt to get more downloads (and presumably serve ads to make some money), which isn\u2019t much better.<\/p>\n<p>So to put it simply, if you want to get your daily Wordle fix, you need to go to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.powerlanguage.co.uk\/wordle\/\">official website<\/a> and play it in your web browser. For the time being, any apps featuring the viral word game aren\u2019t the original game. In the best-case scenario, you\u2019re downloading a copycat. In the worst-case scenario, you could be downloading a scam app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Scammers Are Using Google Ads to Steal Cryptocurrency<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
