Another day means yet another challenging Wordle word puzzle for fans to ponder. Although today's word is a fairly common one, some players may be in search of a little, or a lot, of help to succeed.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a simple game that asks players to figure out a mystery five-letter word without any starting clues. In order to play, word puzzle game fans will first need to get acquainted with the rules.
First and foremost, players will want to make sure they are in the correct place. While the original Wordle, which is the subject of this article, was created by an indie developer, it was purchased by the New York Times Games. In order to play this version, head to either the New York Times Games Wordle website or the New York Times Crossword App to play. Other versions will have different answers of the day and may have slightly different rules.
Next, choose a starting word. In order to pick a good one, players will need to know the rules that Wordle answers follow.
- Wordle answers are always a five-letter English word that is not a proper noun.
- While they can be used as guesses, answers are never previous Wordle answers or plural nouns ending in S or ES.
- The best strategy for Wordle starting words is to pick a word with five, different, common letters in it.
Once a good starter word is chosen, players need to type it into the top row of the Wordle grid on the site or app. This will cause the letters of this word to change colors.
- Those letters that turn green are right and in the right place in the word.
- Letters that become yellow are right but in the wrong place in the word.
- Gray letters are incorrect and won't be in the final word of the day.
Given these clues, players have just six tries to get to the answer before they lose for the day.
