Wordle is back today with yet another difficult word for players to guess. This five-letter word is quite the challenging one, and some players may be seeking out some hints that don't spoil the whole answer, or even just the whole word, to help them through with a win.
How To Play Wordle
As a note: Wordle was massively popular in the early part of 2022. While Wordle has fallen in popularity since the New York Times purchased it, there are still tons of copycats and clones out there looking to gain some of the original's success. The subject of this article and the original will be on the New York Times Game website or the Crossword app only. Other versions will have different answers and may have slightly different rules.
First, choose a starting Wordle word. This word:
- Needs to be five letters long.
- Needs to be an English word, not a proper noun, and is usually an American spelling.
- Can contain duplicated letters.
- Should contain as many common letters as possible.
- Is not one of the many words censored by the New York Times Games when Wordle was purchased.
Next, type the chosen word into the site and press enter. This will cause the letters to change colors; green letters are right, and gray letters are wrong. Yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word. Players have to keep trying new words while keeping those color-coded clues in mind until they run out of their six total guesses or guess the answer correctly. There is only one puzzle per day and these reset every day at midnight local time.
