August 5 Wordle Answer 412

Wordle fans everywhere will be heading to the New York Times Games website to play today's new five-letter word. But there are still some who have yet to play this viral game, so here is some help for those who need some hints or are just new to the game.

How To Play Wordle

Although tons of Wordle clones and copycats have spawned from its popularity, there is only one original. This is the NYT's version. Everything in this article will be about this version; other Wordle-type games will have different answers and may have slightly different rules. But here is how to play the original Wordle:

First, head to the Wordle website. Next, choose a starting word. It should be a five-letter English word that is not a proper noun. Wordle answers also are almost always American versions of words and not plural nouns ending in an S. Also, good starting words usually contain several commonly used letters in Wordle puzzles. Once a good starting word has been chosen, type it into the website and press enter.

If the letters of the starting word become green, the letter is right and in the right place.
If the letters turn gray, they are incorrect.
If the letters turn yellow, they are right but in the wrong position in the word.

After that, continuing guessing new words that fit the clues given and get more hints with those words. Players win by guessing the correct answer and lose by running out of the six given turns. Puzzles reset every day at 12:00AM local time. Since there is only one puzzle per day, fans of the game might look for one of the many Wordle clones to help scratch that word-puzzle itch.
