Struggling with today’s Wordle solution? Don’t break your streak… let us help!
Morning — are you ready to Wordle? How’s your Saturday going… for us, it’s literally opening our eyes, tapping letters into a grid, (hopefully) finding the Wordle answer and rushing to the laptop to share it with the world. Well, the answer for Wordle #259 is both simple enough and likely to catch out a number of people around the world… so rather than just cheating and finding the answer, why not let us help you with some hints and tools? We’ve saved streaks for others this week — here’s how we can help you. And don’t forget to get your dost of resident pro word wrangler Lance Ulanoff’s daily Wordle solution diary — follow how he found his way to the Wordle answers this week and you’ll be a done-in-three pro in no time. (But if you just want the answer, get scrolling down the page, skipping the hints and tools. You’ve probably got a meal to make or a date at the cinema, so nobody needs to waste time on Wordle). Oh man, we’re grumpy with Wordle today. Not because it’s fiendish (although we would call it ‘on the trickier side’) but because we did a stupid thing: tried to think laterally. Don’t do that. Have an idea and go for it — trying to decide how obscure a word is and whether it’s the likely answer is a fool’s errand. The good news is that Google trends suggests that the world isn’t having too much trouble with today’s Wordle solution — which makes sense, as it’s a pretty common word structure. Compare that to yesterday’s ‘AHEAD’ and that seemed to flummox most people — probably because of the position of that ‘A’ at the start. Anyway, here are today’s hints: We weren’t sure whether that last hint would make it too easy — once you know where that is, you should be onto a winner.
