The game, which was created by Josh Wardle, refreshes daily and gives users a blank slate to solve the day’s word.
While this might seem difficult, Wordle tries to help users find the right word by using a color-coded system: green for when the letter is correct, yellow for when it’s in the wrong place, and grey when it’s incorrect.
If this system is not enough for you, don’t fret, Newsweek has provided several useful hints to put you on the right path. The answer is also readily available at the end of this article.
Wardle originally made the game public in October 2021 and it quickly became a global phenomenon thanks to its fun premise as a daily brain exercise, gaining more than 45 million users after starting out with just 90 active players.
The software engineer sold his game to The New York Times in January 2022 and the puzzle moved over to the publication in February.
The puzzle has become so popular that it has inspired a number of other daily games like the music-based Heardle, and the math-based Nerdle.
