October 13 Wordle Answer 481

The New York Times Games' Wordle chose yet another tricky word for players to puzzle through. This word can be quite the challenge, so players might want a hint or two.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a simple word game that pits players against a mystery five-letter English word every day. Players can access Wordle through the New York Times Crossword app or the NYT Games website. It's simply a case of heading to the right place, then getting ready to play.

Once in the right spot, players will need to start by choosing a great starting word. This word:

Must be five letters long.
Must be a real English word.
Cannot be one of the many inappropriate Wordle words censored by the New York Times.
It should contain a lot of common letters like A, I, S, T, or L.
It should not be a proper noun, a plural noun ending in S, or a previous puzzle answer.

After choosing a good starting word, type it into the Wordle grid and press enter. This will cause the letters to change colors, giving players color-coded clues to the real answer of the day. If the letters:

Turn green, they are right and in the right place in the word. If all five letters turn green, that means a player has won.
Turn yellow, they are right but in the wrong place in the word.
Turn gray, they are incorrect and won't be in the answer today.

Players have six total tries to type in words, get more clues, and guess the correct answer before they lose. There is only one puzzle per day, so players will have to wait until it's midnight in their time zone to play again. The Wordle menu will have a timer counting down to when the next puzzle will become available.
