Wordle enthusiasts, it’s time to clear your workspace and focus on today’s challenge. For those unfamiliar, Wordle is an engaging word puzzle where players strive to guess a five-letter word within six attempts. The game was initially designed by software engineer Josh Wardle and gained immense popularity after being released publicly in 2021. The New York Times acquired Wordle in 2022, further solidifying its success.
When you begin, any five-letter word can serve as your starting guess. After each attempt, the feedback is displayed with blocks; if a letter is in the correct position, it will turn green; if it belongs in the word but is misplaced, it will turn yellow; and if the letter is not in the word at all, it will turn gray.
In a recent discussion with Tracy Bennett, The Times’ Wordle editor, she stated that there isn’t really a bad starting word. In fact, after analyzing millions of games this year, the Wordlebot recommended “trace” as a strong option to kick off the game.
Wordle can be played for free, but for those who want to save their statistics and access in-depth analysis, a subscription to the New York Times Games is required.
