Wordle is the notoriously tricky daily word game, giving puzzle lovers the chance at solving the word of the day in just six attempts.
The New York Times-owned word-guessing game took the internet by storm after it was released by software engineer Josh Wardle late in 2021. Wardle began creating the game back in 2013, and completed it during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The game uses a color-coded system which indicates how close a player is to guessing the five-letter answer. It's a process of elimination, and a good strategy for your first guess is to choose a word that contains as many vowels as possible.
A green tile indicates that a player has guessed the correct letter in the correct spot, a yellow tile means that the player has selected a letter that features in the word of the day, but in the incorrect place. Finally, a gray tile means that the player has selected a letter that is incorrect altogether, and therefore that letter is not part of the world of the day at all.
Remember, there are only six attempts to guess the correct Wordle answer, but try to solve the puzzle in as few guesses as possible.
The word game can be tough to solve at times, that's why Newsweek has rounded up some clues to help you solve today's puzzle. If you run out of attempts after using our clues, the answer resets the next day.
