October 7 Wordle Answer 475

Today's Wordle word of the day is yet another challenge brought to players by the New York Times Games. This word is difficult enough that it may drive some players to try to find some hints or the whole answer in order to win.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a simple-to-learn but hard-to-master word guessing game from the New York Times. It pits players against a mystery five-letter word once a day that players have to guess without any starting clues. In order to start playing this little daily game, players will first need to learn the rules of the game. Here's how to play Wordle:

First, players will need to head to the New York Times Games website or the Crossword app to play Wordle. Next, choose a starting word and type it into the site. Press enter. This will cause the letters of the chosen word to change colors. Here are what these colors mean:

Letters that become green are correct and in the right place(s) in the word.
If a letter turns yellow, it is correct but in the wrong place(s) in the word.
Gray letters are incorrect and won't be in the final answer for today.

Given these clues, players need to keep trying new words and getting new clues until the answer is guessed, or they run out of tries. There are only a total of six tries for each word every day, so players should think through each step carefully.

There is only one puzzle per day; this is one of the many reasons why there are so many clones of Wordle out there. Puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.
