There was a lot of green in today's puzzle, but it was the gray that got lost. If it is not that or this, what on earth should we use?

We have got a nice generic word today, and it's a good one, but it's not the only one, and it's not the only one. It's the word most commonly used when someone leaves their current location for any period of time and for any reason. From routine business trips to necessary vacations. Three of the letters in today's alphabet are vowels, one of which is used twice.

If there is anything 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 something casual like a newspaper crossword, and if you come up blank, you can come back to it later.

We're almost there; the answer to the October 1 (469) Wordle is "LEAVE."

The more past Wordle answers you can cram into your memory bank, the more likely you are to guess today's Wordle answer without accidentally choosing an answer that has already been used. 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).

Wordle was originally invented by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab) as a surprise for his partner, who loved word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public.
