Game Rules
Complete guide to Birdle scoring and gameplay
Your Wordle attempts are converted to golf scores based on how many tries it took you to solve the puzzle:
For Birdle-Connections, scores are based on right answers (rows where all 4 cells are the same color) and wrong answers (rows with mixed colors):
All other rules — missed days (+3), monthly totals, and handicap calculation — are the same as Birdle (Wordle).
Every day you miss in the current month automatically adds +3 (Triple-Bogey) to your monthly total score.
How it works:
- If you start playing mid-month, all previous days in that month count as missed
- Each missed day adds +3 to your monthly total
- This applies to ALL players to ensure fair competition
- Missed days are calculated based on your timezone
Example: If you submit your first score on the 15th of the month, days 1-14 will each add +3 to your monthly total (42 points total from missed days).
Your monthly total score is the sum of:
All submitted scores
Every Wordle score you submit during the month
Missed day penalties
+3 for each day in the current month you didn't submit a score
Goal:
The lowest monthly total wins! Play every day and score well to minimize your total.
Your handicap is your average score across all rounds you've ever played.
Important:
- Only submitted scores count toward your handicap
- Missed days with automatic +3 penalties are NOT included in handicap calculation
- Your handicap reflects your true average performance on days you actually played
Example: If you've submitted 10 scores totaling +5, your handicap is +0.5 (regardless of how many days you missed).
To ensure fair play and accurate tracking:
One submission per day
You can only submit one Wordle score per calendar day
Timezone-based tracking
Your submissions are tracked based on your profile timezone setting
Puzzle number validation
Each submission is validated against the official Wordle puzzle number for that day
🏌️ Lower scores are better • 📊 Monthly totals include missed days • 🎯 Handicap only counts played rounds
