Are you stuck on today’s Wordle brainteaser? You have come to the right place. Newsweek has helpful hints for you to continue your winning streak.
The puzzle has skyrocketed in popularity since its release to the public in October 2021. Three months later, in January 2022, The New York Times purchased the game for a seven-figure sum. Nowadays, it is the newspaper’s most popular game, while Connections—another of the publication’s word-based games—is behind it in second.
Josh Wardle created Wordle during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to entertain himself and his partner. In an interview with Newsweek in 2022, the engineer said that, while he “did create Wordle,” he is “not very good at it.”
“[My partner] and I play it on the couch together each morning,” Wardle continued. “She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least 4 or 5 attempts.”
The game follows a simple formula: Players must guess the daily five-letter word after six attempts through a process of elimination. Green tiles reveal the letter is in the correct and exact place; yellow tiles reveal the letter is in the word, though not in the right spot; and gray tiles reveal the letter is not in the word at all.
During his Newsweek interview, Wardle said, “There is a reason that every word is five letters long and that you are allowed six attempts to guess it.” He added: “I figured out that five letters and six tries was the ideal sweet spot. It’s just limited enough to feel challenging and to make you think, but most of the time people still manage to solve it. So, you feel a real sense of real accomplishment.”
