If Amazon's new Rings of Power series has fired up your interest in Lord of the Rings, you're not alone. A fun way to test your LOTR knowledge is through Wordle clone Lordle of the Rings, which gives you a daily puzzle to guess a Lord of the Rings-themed five-letter word.

Wordle, which was purchased by The New York Times for a seven-figure sum in January, is a daily word puzzle that took the internet by storm.

Like in Wordle, the Lord of the Rings version features boxes that turn yellow if you guess the right letter but in the wrong spot, or green for the right letter in the right spot. Gray boxes mean the letter isn't in the word at all.
