Wordle enthusiasts are excited to keep their winning momentum going, especially as they tackle the latest puzzle. For those new to Wordle, it’s a popular word guessing game where players have six attempts to identify a five-letter word. Originally created by Josh Wardle and launched publicly in 2021, Wordle was purchased by The New York Times in 2022, gaining immense popularity since its release.
To start the game, players can choose any five-letter word as their “starter word.” After each guess, the letters change color: green indicates a correct letter in the right spot, yellow shows a correct letter in the wrong position, and gray signifies a letter not in the word at all. According to Tracy Bennett, the Times’ Wordle editor, there’s no such thing as a bad starter word. The Wordlebot, analyzing over 515 million Wordle games in 2023, suggests “trace” as an ideal opening choice.
You can play Wordle for free, but to access your stats and in-depth analyses, a New York Times Games subscription or complete New York Times access is necessary.
For today’s puzzle, the clues reveal that the answer is a noun related to farming, particularly something that would assist Old MacDonald. With two vowels, “A” and “E,” and it starting with the letter “B,” the Wordle word to solve for is “baler,” which refers to the machine used for making hay bales.
This ongoing interest in the game reflects its engaging nature, as players continually enjoy the challenge of guessing the right word daily.
