New to Wordle? You can play it right here on the NYT site[2]. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight, your local time. Start by guessing a five-letter word. Green letters indicate correct guesses in the right spot, yellows mean the right letter in the wrong place, and grays mean it ain't in today's secret word. Consider checking out our guide to playing Wordle and my advanced strategy guide for more tips[3][4].
Ready for some hints? Let's roll!
Is today's Wordle weird in any way?
If we define common letters as those in the old typesetters' phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU, today has four common letters, with the fifth being pretty standard.
Hey, can I have another hint?
How about we talk bric-a-brac?
Double letters today?
Nope, none of that here.
How many vowels?
Three vowels today.
First letter of today's Wordle?
We're starting with a "C."
Last letter?
Yep, it ends with an "O."
Got it? Answer time!
Ready? Today's word is CURIO.
Solving strategy
I began with RAISE and TOUCH, which left me with CURIO as the final answer.
Yesterday's Wordle answer
Yesterday was tougher. The hint was "chomp chomp"[6], and the solution contained three common letters and two not-so-common letters.
The solution to yesterday's Wordle was MUNCH.
Wordle Basics
The point is to figure out the day's secret word. Upon opening the game, you'll see an empty grid. Guess any five-letter word, and the colors will let you know how you're doing: Green means a correct letter in the right spot; yellow suggests the right letter in the wrong position; gray indicates the letter ain't in the solution. Aim for the green! You've got six guesses before it's game over.
Good starter words
The best starters pack common letters, boosting your odds of green and yellow squares for guidance. The NYT's analysis bot suggests starting with CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, or CARTE[2]. Meanwhile, an MIT analysis recommends these: SALET, REAST, TRACE, CRATE, or SLATE[5]. You could also try ARISE or ROUND. Start with a strategy and see where it takes you!
