Just head to the bottom of the page for the latest pick of tracks, and remember to come back tomorrow for even more helpful tips. Good luck, because you might just need it!
The perfect game to play over breakfast or during your lunch break, Wordle challenges players to guess a five-letter word in just six guesses.
To master Wordle and solve these daily puzzles, you’ll need to pay close attention to the color of the tiles after each guess.
If the letter tile turns gray, the letter does not appear in the word you are guessing. If the tile turns yellow, the letter you guessed is in the word, but not in the correct position. If the tile turns green, the letter is in the word and in the correct place.
The app tracks your stats, showing the number of correct answers you’ve managed as well as your winning streak.
If you don’t solve the puzzle, you’ll have to wait until the next day for a new Wordle to be posted. You will also lose your precious winning streak.
