Today and Yesterday's Wordle answers
Wordle is a simple online word game that challenges people to find a five-letter word in six guesses - with a new puzzle being published every day. As internet fads go, this one is universal, educational, and free! What's better is that Wordle is ad-free, too.
The game was created by British software engineer Josh Wardle, who simply wanted to create a fun and simple game for him and his partner to enjoy. After sharing his creation on the family WhatsApp group, the game's fan base grew at an unbelievable rate. Thanks to social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter, where people built fan communities and easily shared their scores, the user base jumped from 90 players on November 1 to 300,000+ by the start of 2022.
Wordle is a game that's easy to play, and once you've figured out the tricks and tips, easy to win. Let's start with the basics of how to play Wordle:
- Start with any five-letter word - The aim of Wordle is to guess the correct five-letter word, so to begin, simply enter any five-letter word and look at the results.
- Interpret the colors - After entering your first word, the individual letters will be color-coded. Green means the letter and position are correct, yellow means the letter is correct but the position is not, and gray means the letter is not in the five-letter word.
- Use the feedback - Continue guessing five-letter words, and use the colors to inform your decisions. However, be careful; you only have six guesses to lock in the correct five-letter word!
- Win or learn - If you guess the correct word, congratulations; you've won. If you don't guess correctly, the correct five-letter word will be revealed to you after your sixth guess.
