Wordle is back today with another five-letter mystery word for fans to puzzle out. In order to play with success, word puzzle fans will need to know the rules of how to play, some strategy for winning, and some might even want a little help with the answer for today.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a simple little game that was massively popular back in early 2022. These two things combined with the versatility of Wordle's rules made it a target for copycats and clones. This means that there are tons of things out there calling themselves Wordle, but only one original. This is the New York Times version; it can only be accessed through the newspaper's Games site or the New York Times Crossword app. Other versions will have different answers than what is listed here.
To get started, choose a starting Wordle word. This word:
- Must be five letters long.
- Must be a real word.
- Should be a word with five different letters in it, three of them vowels if possible.
- Should not be a plural noun ending in S.
- Should not be a previous puzzle answer.
- Cannot be a proper noun.
Type the chosen word into the site, then press enter. This will cause its letters to change colors; each color is a clue to the real answer.
- If a letter turns green, it is correct.
- If a letter becomes yellow, it is right but in the wrong location in the word.
- If the letter becomes gray, it is incorrect.
Try new words and get new clues until players guess the answer correctly or run out of the six total turns they get to solve it. Puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.
