Wordle 285 Answer for March 31, 2022

Wordle fans will be waiting for today's puzzle as soon as midnight local time rolls around. This word is yet another difficult one, brought to Wordle fans by the New York Times games.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a browser-based word game that has gone viral this year. While it looks like less people have been playing since the New York Times bought Wordle, there are still many fans that log on every day in order to guess the new word. In spite of its massive popularity, especially on social media, some out there have yet to play it. For everyone that's still unfamiliar, here is a breakdown of the rules.

First, players need to head to the website. While there are many Wordle clones and copycats, the hints in this article will be focused around the NYT version. After that, players need to choose a starting five-letter English word. Type it into the site and press enter, then the letters will begin to change colors to give players clues as to the correct answer.

Green letters are correct.
Yellow letters are correct but in the wrong place.
Gray letters are wrong.

Wordle fans will need to use these clues in order to get to the correct word in the six-guess limit. The word of the day will reset at midnight every day, giving players a new word to try to guess. After completing the puzzle, players will get access to the menu, which gives players their Wordle stats and the spoiler-free Share button for social media. Some stats players will find include their winning streak, puzzles played, and more if they use the same device and browser every day.
