The puzzle can be just that, a puzzle, with players struggling to figure out exactly which word will fit in the five-letter space, more so if the word repeats letters.
Created by Josh Wardle, Wordle gives players clues along the way by using a color-coded system: Green if the letter is in the right place in the word, yellow if it is in the wrong place, and grey if it isn’t in the word at all.
Even with this system though, it can be tricky to solve, but Newsweek has provided some useful hints and starting words that could help you. The answer for Wordle #269 is also available.
Wordle took the world by storm when it was first made public in October 2021, and the game moved to The New York Times in February.
Initially only having 90 active players, Wordle now has over 45 million users who sign in each and every day to test their skills on the platform.
The game has also inspired a number of other daily games such as music-based Heardle, and math equation game Nerdle.
