February 22 Wordle 613 Answer and Hints

Wordle has one of its more challenging words for this month on the schedule for today. It's a little bit of a rare word, one that isn't often used in this form. In order to win today, some players may need a nudge in the right direction.

How To Play Wordle

Note: When Wordle went viral back in early 2022, a whole slew of copycats and clones of it popped up all over the internet. This article is only about the original version which belongs to the New York Times Games. This version is only accessible through the NYT Games site or the NYT Crossword app. Other versions will have their own answers, and many Wordles out there even have their own rules on how to play.

The first order of business when playing Wordle is to choose a starting word. This word:

Needs to be five letters long.
Must be a real English word.
Should not be a plural noun ending in S. Although these can be used as guesses, they will never been answers to Wordle puzzles.
Should not be the answer to a previous puzzle. These can be used as guesses though.
Should have five different common letters to Wordle puzzles.

Once a good starting word is chosen, type it into the site. The letters will change colors.

Letters that turn green are right.
Letters that become gray are wrong.
Yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.

Try another word, and players will get new clues with its letters. Keep trying new words until the answer is guessed or players run out of their six tries. Puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.
