The viral sensation Wordle has a brand new puzzle for February 9, 2022. Today's word, however, may be a little bit difficult to figure out, especially if a player is not from the United States.

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a free-to-play daily word game. Each day, players can head to the website and attempt to guess the five-letter word of the day. Fans have only six tries to guess the correct answer with the given clues before the puzzle is over. Here's how the game works.

First, players head to the Wordle website. Next, they need to try out a five-letter word and hit enter. While there is a best strategy for getting the Wordle answer correct, players can choose whatever five-letter starting word they want, just so long as it is a real English word. Once players have selected the first word, they hit enter and the site will color-code the letter based on whether they are in the answer or not.

  • Gray letters are not in the solution.
  • When a letter turns green, this means it is both the correct letter and in the right spot in the word.
  • Yellow letters appear in the puzzle, but they are in the wrong spot.

Given the clues from whatever word they have typed in, players have to guess the word of the day in only six tries.

The answer to Wordle puzzle 235 is HUMOR.

Given that the viral Wordle website is a UK address, many fans on Reddit were confused that the game used the American spelling of the word HUMOR; to most English speakers, "HUMOUR" is a six-letter word. The reason behind this is that while the programmer of the game and owner of the website is British, the woman who made the word list that Wordle pulls from is an American. Therefore, players from outside the US should still expect the spelling of words to be the American versions.
