February 21 Wordle 612 Answer and Hints

Wordle is back today with another mystery five-letter word. Players from all over the English-speaking world will be looking to solve it for themselves, and some of these fans might want a hint on how to solve this difficult word puzzle.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle may be a simple game with simple rules, but it can be difficult to master. In order to get started playing Wordle for the first time, newbies will want to learn both the rules of how to play and a little strategy to get them going.

The most important thing players must do first is to make sure they are in the correct place. While there are a ton of Wordle clones out there, the New York Times Games version is the original and the one this article is all about. The other Wordles will have different answers, and many of them have slightly different rules of play, especially if they are themed.

First, choose a starting Wordle word. It must be five letters long and a real word. It cannot be a proper noun or an offensive word. Players should choose a word with five different common letters. Plural nouns ending in S and previous Wordle answers should also be avoided, since these can't be answers.
Once a word is chosen, type it into the Wordle site or the New York Times Games Crossword and Wordle app.
Press enter.
The letters of the chosen word will become different colors.
Each color has a different meaning. Green letters are right, and gray letters are wrong. Yellow letters are right but in the wrong position in the word.
Given these clues, try a new word.
This one's letters will change colors too.
Keep trying new words.
Players get a total of six tries to get to the answer.
