There are loads of English words that are possible answers for Wordle's puzzle of the day, and some of them are spelled very similarly to one another. No matter what players' Wordle strategy is, today's word may trip them up because of how many other words are spelled so similarly.
How To Play Wordle
In order to play Wordle, players just need a device that connects to the internet with a browser. With this, they can head to the updated New York Times Games location for the Wordle website and try their hand at today's word. Every day at midnight local time, a new five-letter English word puzzle will become available, and players have a total of six guesses to get to the answer.
First, players need to pick out their best starting word for today's Wordle. It has to be an English word of five letters, and it cannot be one of the words that the New York Times has removed from Wordle to make it more user-friendly. After choosing and typing in a word, players need to hit enter. This will lock in their first guess, and the letters will change color depending on whether they are correct or not.
- Gray letters are incorrect and are not in the answer.
- Green letters are correct in the right place.
- Yellow letters are correct but in the wrong place.
Players need to use these given clues to get the answer correct in the six guesses they are given. And if they miss out on the answer, no worries. There will be a whole new puzzle for players to try out at midnight. Or players can give the Wordle clone Absurdle a try; it has unlimited guesses.
