Wordle is perhaps one of the most popular puzzle games around. It’s a daily ritual for many. NYT Wordle releases a new puzzle every day to keep the game fresh and exciting. Today’s no different; Wordle today #1277 promises moderate difficulty. However, for players feeling stuck, scroll below to find hints and even today’s answer, with Wordle tips, history, and fun facts.
Wordle is a game designed by Josh Wardle, a software engineer, in 2021. Initially, it was a simple game for him and his partner to play during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its engaging mechanics and the ability to share results without spoiling it, made the game a viral sensation.
In early 2022, Wardle sold the game to The New York Times, and millions of players continue to play it around the world.
For newcomers, the game poses a simple yet addictive challenge every day. A player gets six attempts to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the game provides color-coded feedback by turning letters into colors:
Green: Correct letter, correct spot.
Yellow: Correct letter, wrong spot.
Gray: The letter isn't in the word.
Use these color-coded clues to narrow down guesses and figure out the word in as few attempts as possible.
Before the final reveal, here are some helpful hints to solve today's Wordle:
Vowels: The word has only one vowel.
Letter Uniqueness: There is no letter repetition in today's world.
Starting Letter: The word starts with the letter ‘S’.
Ending Letter: The word ends with the letter ‘L’.
Good Starting Word: Starting with ‘BOWLS’ will turn four letters yellow.
Meaning: This is a facial expression that generally represents discontent, anger, or frustration.
