Wordle has taken social media by storm. The whole of Twitter and Facebook has seemed to fall in love with this easy-to-play but difficult-to-master word puzzle game in spite of some small problems with Wordle. But no matter how into the game a player is, they may still need a few hints to get through the puzzle successfully.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a word puzzle that resets daily at midnight local time. Every day, a new word becomes available, and players have only six tries to guess a random five-letter English word from a list of thousands of possible words. Even with the possible Wordle answers that the New York Times has censored, that's still a lot of possible answers players have to think through to get to the solution.

While there are some best strategies for winning Wordle every day, the basics remain the same for everyone. Players choose a real five-letter word and put it into the website. After hitting enter, the letters of the chosen word will change color. Green letters are correct, gray are incorrect, and yellow letters are correct letters but in the wrong spot. With these clues, players have six tries before the puzzle is lost. After the puzzle is done, players can check their Wordle stats, including win streaks, total wins, total puzzles, and there is also a share button to share a player's board spoiler-free for social media.

Now that fans of word puzzles know how to play, it's time for some hints for today's Wordle word of the day.
