For anyone looking to win today's Wordle, whether it is their first time playing or not, they might need some help. Today's mystery word is a common word, but some players might still be looking for a good hint or two to help out.
How To Play Wordle
Wordle is a simple game to learn but a very difficult game to master. This word puzzle game has challenged players with some difficult Wordle words over its lifespan. But in order for anyone to get started playing this viral game, they will first need to learn all the rules of how to play.
First and foremost, players must ensure they are heading to the right place. While there are a lot of popular Wordle copycats and clones out there, the original and the subject of this article is now owned by the New York Times, and it can only be accessed through the newspaper's Games page and its Crossword app. Other versions will have different answers and may even have slightly different rules of how to play.
Next, choose a starting word. This word should be five letters long, a real English word, full of common letters, and not a previous answer to a Wordle puzzle. Type this starting word into the Wordle grid and press enter. This will cause the word's letters to change colors, giving players clues to the real answer.
- Letters that become green are right.
- Letters that become gray are wrong.
- Yellow letters are right but in the wrong position(s) in the word.
Given these clues, players need to keep trying new words and getting new clues until they guess the word right or run out of their six total tries. There is only one word per day, and it resets at midnight every day.
