This is why Newsweek has compiled a list of tips and tricks, to help you figure out the latest Wordle.
The game’s developer, Josh Wardle created Wordle for his puzzle-loving partner Palak Shah. He began working on the game in 2013 and later returned to the project in his spare time, during lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
If you haven’t tried it yet, you can do so here. The premise of the game is fairly simple, it requires players to guess a five-letter word in six attempts or less.
The puzzle is color-coded, and this helps you figure out the answer. So when a letter is in the right position, it will turn green. Any letters that are in the word but have been placed in the wrong position will turn yellow. Letters that aren’t in the word will become gray.
It became such a worldwide success that The New York Times Company bought Wordle from its original creator in January 2022 for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.
Other Wordle-inspired puzzles include the music-based Heardle, the math-based Nerdle, and the challenging Quordle, which requires players to solve four words in just nine attempts.
