Today's NYT Wordle answer is ‘SAUNA’.
A sauna refers to a room designed for relaxation with hot steam. Traditionally, made of wood, saunas are popular in many cultures and are often located in bathhouses or health spas. The heat helps to relieve stress, improve circulation, and can even provide some relief from the cold.
For a newcomer, here's how the game is played. The challenge is to guess a five-letter word in six attempts. For each guess, the player will get feedback, with letters changing colors as follows:
1. Green indicates that the letter appears in the correct position.
2. Yellow indicates that the letter does appear in the word, but not in that particular position.
3. Gray indicates that the letter does not appear anywhere in the word.
After each guess, players can start eliminating possibilities, making it easier to guess the word correctly in fewer attempts.
The game was developed by software engineer Josh Wardle for himself and his partner to play during the pandemic. By the end of 2021, Wordle attracted over a million daily users. Its viral success led to its acquisition by The New York Times in January 2022 for a seven-figure amount. It became a permanent feature of NYT Games.
Whether playing to pass the time or competing to preserve the winning streak, Wordle remains an engaging way to challenge the user’s brain daily.
