Wordle is back with a brand-new puzzle of the day for August 2, 2022. Today's puzzle is probably one of the most challenging of recent words, and players new and old will probably want a few hints to help themselves out.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is an easy-to-learn, browser-based title on the New York Times Games site. This simple game can be played from just about any device that connects to the internet, and it is currently free-to-play and doesn't require a login. Players should use the same device and browser every day to help the game keep tabs on their stats like winning streak, total puzzles played, and more.
In order to play, first head to the NYTs Games site and look for Wordle. Next, choose a starting word. It should be five-letters long, a real English word, not a proper noun, and should contain several commonly used letters in Wordle puzzles. Type this chosen starting word into the site and press enter. This will cause the letters to change colors. Here is what those colors mean:
- Letters that become gray are incorrect and won't appear in the answer.
- If a letter becomes yellow, it is right but in the wrong place in the word.
- Green letters are right and in the right place.
Given these clues, players will need to try new words and see the letters of each new word change until they either run out of tries or guess the correct word. Puzzles reset every day at 12:00AM local time, meaning there is only one puzzle per day. Since this might not be enough for some puzzle enthusiasts, they can search out some of the many copycats and clones out there, like the Fortnite-themed version of Wordle called Fortle.
