Wordle has become a daily ritual for many, offering an engaging and challenging way to start the day. For people who are stuck on today’s puzzle, Wordle #1263, scroll below to find all the hints and even Wordle's answer for December 3, 2024, to complete the daily ritual. Before doing that, for the newbies, let’s explore the gameplay mechanisms and Wordle tips first.
Wordle often stumps players, but with a few tips, one can enhance the chances of winning. Here are some strategies shared by experts that could help a player keep up their winning streak:
Choose the First Word Wisely: According to applied linguistics expert Erhan Aslan, starting with words that include commonly used vowels like ‘E’ and ‘A’, and consonants like ‘R’ and ‘T’ can help. Avoid starting with rare letters like 'Q', 'Z', 'J', or 'X'. These letters are less likely to help one figure out the answer quickly.
Be Strategic with the Second Guess: Linguistics expert Noël Wolf suggests using a second guess that employs a completely separate set of letters. This helps one knock out more possibilities in fewer attempts. For example, if some of the letters from the first guess, like ‘TRAIN’, are correct, don't repeat those letters. Instead, use a word like ‘PLUMB’ to explore other possible vowels and consonants.
Wordle is a five-letter word puzzle where a player gets six attempts to guess the correct word. After each guess, the app or website uses color-coded tiles to give feedback:
1. Green means the player has guessed the correct letter in the correct spot.
2. Yellow means the letter is in the word but not in the correct position.
3. Gray means the letter doesn't appear in the word at all.
Solving Wordle quickly depends on how carefully a player uses these clues with a wise elimination of possibilities after each feedback.
For word enthusiasts looking for additional challenges besides Wordle, there are plenty available in the market. New York Times Games itself offers a variety of other word puzzles, including the famous NYT Connections and Strands.
Before showing the solution, here are a few hints to help crack today’s Wordle:
Hint 1: It is a word that has a vowel in it.
Hint 2: It has no repeating letters in it.
Hint 3: The word starts with the letter 'S'.
