Wordle was created as a humble yet addictive game by software engineer Josh Wardle for his partner. It quickly garnered worldwide attention, including the New York Times which bought it later on.
Let’s explore today’s Wordle hints, tips, answers, and strategies to solve the puzzle quickly and efficiently.
For those unaware of how to play Wordle, the game can be accessed through the New York Times website. A new puzzle is posted there every day at US midnight local time.
The game is played by guessing a five-letter word. It lights up the letters green, yellow, or even grey for incorrect letters or letters not found in that word at all. All of these advanced techniques can be used to improve the gameplay.
Advanced players can also maintain track of consonants using different techniques. For example, making combinations with the already used consonants and being able to memorize what letter combination comes most.
The choice of word is rather arbitrary, but strategic players often choose a word that contains at least two of the different vowels, plus common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
A recent paper by MIT on Wordle reports that the following words will likely eliminate some possibilities in the first round:
SALET
REACT
TRACE
CREATE
SLATE
Other good choices would be ARISE or ROUND. Although words like ADIEU and AUDIO have more vowels. Sometimes starting with consonants helps, thereby using starters like RENTS or CLAMP is a good idea. Strategizing well can make a big difference in the game.
Initially, one could access an entire archive of past Wordle puzzles. However, the New York Times removed this feature later on. Instead, the NYT has launched a Wordle Archive available only to subscribers. This enables devoted players to revisit earlier puzzles while paying for the game's ongoing ones.
