How it works

Play Wordle on the Times. Share once into your private tribe. Skill scoring, a camp torch, and standings that stay with your people.

1. From Wordle in one tap

Install Five Letter Tribe on your phone first so it appears in Share. Then send results straight from the Wordle app — no paste. Paste still works anytime.

Install

Add Five Letter Tribe to your Home Screen.

Play

Solve Wordle on the New York Times app or site as usual.

Share

Tap Share → Five Letter Tribe. Score posts, torch lit.

2. Scoring and the torch

We score accuracy and efficiency — not streak luck. Posting lights your torch for the day.

Torch lit

Light the torch when you share

Posting lights it. An X/6 still counts as showing up (snuffed), but your camp streak resets — solves keep the fire going.

Scoring rewards skill

Faster solves score higher. Efficiency bonuses for greens and yellows on the way — not just whether you kept a NYT streak.

3. Compete with your tribe

Friends, family, or coworkers share one private camp. Weekly and all-time standings stay with your people — never a public leaderboard of strangers.

4. Chat with fire

Roast near-misses, celebrate greens, and drop GIFs. The camp chat is for your tribe only.

5. Chiefs run the camp

A chief starts the tribe, sends invite links, and chooses who gets in — up to 20 people per camp. Tribe mates play free; the chief covers the plan.
