With the last day of the week also comes the last Wordle game of the week and Newsweek is there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Here you will find hints, tips and finally the answer to today’s game, so scroll carefully if you want to try it yourself first.
The puzzle has become the most popular word game that The New York Times has to offer, after the newspaper bought it for a seven-figure sum in January 2022.
It was acquired from Brooklyn software developer Josh Wardle, who created the game during the lockdown and released it to the general public in October 2021.
How to play ‘Wordle’
If you’re new here, or just want a recap, the goal of the game is to guess the correct five-letter word. When you enter a letter into a block, its color changes.
Green means the correct letter is in the correct place, gray means the letter is not in the word at all, and yellow means the correct letter is in the wrong place.
You may guess a total of six times.
If you’re not sure where to start, an expert in applied linguistics, Erhan Aslan, who teaches at the University of Reading in the UK, has previously provided some useful advice for Wordle players in an interview with Newsweek.
“One thing I find important in this game is the choice of opening words,” Aslan said. “Starting with words that contain common vowels, such as e and a, consonants such as r and t, and sound sequences can be helpful.
“For example, choosing a word that begins with q, z, j, or x might not be the best choice. You get more feedback after a few guesses. Users have to rely on some phonics knowledge to narrow down or eliminate words they might be thinking of.”
