Newsweek has gathered a few hints to help you solve today’s “Wordle” puzzle.
It’s been over two years since Wordle first blew up online, but its daily brainteasers are still keeping word puzzle nerds guessing.
Created by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle, the game was designed as a gift for his crossword-loving girlfriend. Although it was only meant to be something the couple could play together during lockdown, Wardle realized the game had potential, and uploaded Wordle to the web in October 2021.
Within months, Wordle had gained a massive following, going from 91 players in November 2021 to over 2 million in January 2022. The New York Times took notice, purchasing Wordle for a seven-figure sum.
The game is still the outlet’s most popular word puzzle game, but what is the secret to Wordle’s success? According to Wardle, it’s the five-letter, six-guess format.
“There is a reason that every word is 5 letters long and that you are allowed six attempts to guess it.
