Word puzzles are not exactly mainstream gaming, but word puzzles have an immense fan base globally that regularly grinds these games. Among the most popular web puzzles, The New York Times holds a few, including Wordle. Since its release, Wordle has taken the world by storm with its simple yet addictive daily word puzzle that challenges players across the world with its clever word-guessing mechanism. Every day this word puzzle provides players with a new five-letter word that they must guess within six attempts.
Wordle was initially introduced by Josh Wardle in 2021 and almost immediately after its release, this word puzzle has attracted unexpected popularity. Considering its growing popularity, The New York Times acquired this puzzle game in 2022 and currently, Wordle is one of the most played NYT puzzle games. This web-based word game aims to give players six chances to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the game provides feedback through coloured tiles:
Green: If a letter is marked in green, it means the letter is correct and in the right position.
Yellow: If one letter is marked in yellow, that means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
Gray: Finally, when a letter is marked in grey, the letter is not in the word at all.
The gameplay is extremely straightforward, but this simple design has become the USP of the game. The best part of this game is the feedback system. Players must understand them and form words accordingly to get the right word without wasting too many chances.
Guessing Wordle is not easy. Therefore, for players who have been struggling with today’s word, here are some tailored hints for Wordle #1375:
Hint 1: Today’s word begins with the letter 'S.'
Hint 2: This word contains one vowel.
Hint 3: It’s a noun
Hint 4: There are no repeating letters in this word.
Hint 5: Synonyms of the word include 'rack’ or ‘ledge’
These clues will probably lead players to the right answer, but if these are still not solving all the confusion, here are two bonus clues:
Bonus Hint 1: The word ends with the letter ‘F’ and the vowel comes in the third position.
Bonus Hint 2: This five-letter word crafts a rack that can be attached to the wall for keeping books.
The above-mentioned hints have probably solved all the confusion and helped Wordle-enthusiasts to solve the puzzle but if there is still even a little bit of confusion left, here’s the solution to today’s Wordle #1375:
SHELF.
Here’s the explanation of how this word matches the given clues. Hearing shelf instantly brings to mind the image of a book rack attached to a wall. Also, ‘shelf’ is a noun.
Players who have joined this NYT word puzzle game recently and are struggling to master the guessing technique, here are some tips to master it:
It’s always better to start with standard vowels or consonants. Therefore, it’s better to start with words that begin with vowels like A, E, I, O, U, and consonants like R, S, T, F, and N. It often helps to pick the right track.
Try not to repeat words in the initial guesses. Instead, try to cover as many letters as possible and check how many are in the word and how many are placed right.
The most important part is to check the feedback properly. As the game provides feedback, it will make things a bit easier for players to know which letters to place where. Green letters are already in the right place, so try to adjust the position of the yellow ones.
Finally, the most important way to guess Wordle answers is to expand one’s vocabulary. The more one is familiar with uncommon words, the more they will be able to guess the words easily within two or three guesses.
From the very beginning, Wordle continues to offer a delightful combination of challenge and simplicity, which is the key to its extreme popularity. Another key aspect behind Wordle’s success is that it brings new words every day without any repetition. Therefore, no matter which age group a player belongs to, this word puzzle helps them widen their vocabulary.
