Today's Wordle 473 Answers and Hints: Wednesday, October 5
[Also, if you want to see the answer to the puzzle from October 5 (473) with a minimum of fuss, here it is.

While solving this puzzle, I found it a bit trickier than it actually was.

To come up with today's answer, we need to consider different types of land. These lowlands are always waterlogged and swampy, covered not with water-loving trees but instead with tall grasses. Let's find just one vowel today.

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 a casual newspaper crossword, and if you come up blank, just come back to it later.

Some days are tougher than others; the answer to the October 5 (473) Wordle is "MARSH."

The more past Wordle answers you can remember, the more likely you are to guess today's Wordle answer without accidentally choosing a pre-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 shows five boxes in six columns each day, and it is up to you to decide which five-letter word is hidden in each box.

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.

Trying to avoid a letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer, while using another "good" word to cover a common letter that we missed last time.

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. The word puzzle game has since provided tremendous inspiration for games like Wordle (opens in new tab), focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure price! (opens in new tab). Indeed, it will only be a matter of time before all of us will be communicating solely through the Tricolor box.
