Your group already texts Wordle scores. Make it a league.
WordPlayLeague reads them where they land. Days build into a weekly race, and weekly wins into a season title — with divisions, promotion and relegation along the way. Nobody downloads anything.
Free for 28 days on Slack and Discord.
Card up front, nothing charged until it ends.
See it work
The Wordle league that runs itself.
A score posts, the table updates, and nobody keeps score. This is a real week in a real league — Pickle Party, Wordle 1,939.

How it works
One person sets it up. Everyone else just keeps playing.
Most Wordle league tools ask every player to make an account and re-type a score they already shared. That is a second chore, every day, forever — and it is why those leagues quietly die in week three.

So much fun to start my day with a little competition between friends!Jess Pickle Party
As a competitive person, this takes wordle to a whole new level. So much fun playing with friends and making a completion out of it. And it keeps me coming back to the game each day, which is really the purpose. So worth it!Troy Belly Up

Questions
What people ask before starting a league.
What is a Wordle league?
A Wordle league turns the daily puzzle into an ongoing competition for a fixed group of people. Instead of each person comparing one day's score, results accumulate: days build into a weekly total, weeks produce a winner, and weekly wins decide a season title. WordPlayLeague adds divisions with promotion and relegation on top, so there is a table to climb rather than a single leaderboard.
Does everyone need to download an app?
No. Players carry on posting their Wordle result in the group chat, Slack channel or Discord server they already use. There is no app, no account and no website for them to visit. Only the person setting up the league ever logs in.
How does scoring work?
Each day you score the number of guesses it took. Across the week, your best results count toward a weekly total — the manager chooses how many, from three to seven. A lower total is better.
A failed puzzle is thrown out rather than scored, but it does not count as one of your valid days, so failing too often means you do not qualify for the week at all.
What happens if two players tie?
Ties on the weekly total are broken by who played more days, and then by head-to-head results. Where a tie still cannot be separated, the league records joint winners rather than picking arbitrarily — and the Sunday race update tells everyone in advance what a tie would mean.
How long is a season?
A season ends when somebody earns it, not when the calendar says so. The manager sets a target of two to six weekly wins; the first player to reach it takes the title and a new season begins. Close leagues run longer, one-sided ones finish faster.
What are divisions, and how does relegation work?
Leagues with enough players can split into Division I and Division II, and Slack and Discord leagues with twelve or more can add a Division III. At the end of a season the bottom of each division goes down one and the top comes up one.
Missing weeks is what usually sends a player down: anyone who failed to post enough valid scores is relegated ahead of someone who merely played badly, and the league always states which reason applied. Newly promoted players are immune for their first season up.
Can I join a league part-way through a season?
Yes. A player added mid-season is never charged a missed week for any week before they joined, including the partial week they arrive in. They start competing from their first full week.
Who pays — every player, or just the organiser?
Only the manager. One subscription covers the whole league, and players never see a payment screen. Slack and Discord leagues start at $5 a month with a 28-day free trial; group-text leagues start at $8 because carriers charge per message.
Is this affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times?
No. WordPlayLeague is not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times, Slack, or any puzzle publisher. Players voluntarily share their own results, and we score what they choose to post.
Your group already plays. Give it a table.
