Whether you are looking to find general tips to improve your daily Wordle game or are looking for helpful hints to guide you along the way, you will find everything you need to solve the October 2 (470) challenge on this page.

My opening guess did a lot of the heavy lifting today, and I ended up spending an embarrassing amount of time trying to find the last letter needed to solve today's Wordle. It was certainly a challenge and felt like a bottomless well of possibilities.

Today's answer is a particular kind of string. It is thick, rough, and often used to tie up gardening and rustic style handicrafts. There are two vowels to be found today.

If there is one thing better than playing Wordle, it is playing Wordle well:

There is no pressure to complete it by midnight. So don't treat this game as a casual newspaper crossword; you can come back to it later if you come up blank.

Let's end the week with a win: the answer to the October 2 (470) Wordle is TWINE.

The more past Wordle answers you can cram into your memory bank, the more likely you will be able to guess today's Wordle answer without accidentally choosing an already existing answer. Also, looking at past Wordle solutions can give you great ideas for fun starting words to keep your daily puzzles fresh.

Here are some recent Wordle solutions:

Wordle will show you five boxes in six columns each day, and it is up to you to decide which five-letter word is hidden in them.

You will want to start with a strong word like ALERT (opens in a new tab)-one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters Press Enter and the box will show correct or incorrect. If the box goes to ⬛️, that means the letter is not in the secret word at all. means the letter is in the word but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

Then, the answer is to use another "good" word to cover a common letter that was missed last time, while trying to avoid a letter that we now know for certain is not present in today's answer.

Then just use what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try a total of 6 times, and you can only use actual words (so you cannot fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
