# man passwordle

Guess today's breached password. Every answer is a real password from the UK NCSC's list of the 100,000 most common ones found in data breaches.

• The number of boxes is the length. 5 or 6 characters gets 6 tries, 7 or 8 characters gets 7.
• Every guess has to be a password on the breach list too, unless easy mode is on. Leetspeak counts: p@ssw0rd is not password.
• Letters, numbers and ! @ # $ % & * ? . _ - +. Not case sensitive.
• Easy mode drops the list rule, so any guess of the right length counts. Once you use it, that day's game is marked easy in your stats and share.

Want a cheat sheet? The NCSC's 100k list has every possible answer in it (plus about 98,000 that aren't). A new password drops at midnight UK time. If any of these look familiar, change yours.
