Somehow, everything was perfectly aligned for today's Wordle. It just so happened that the combination of definite green and negligible gray was perfect for the one word that jumped out at me as the correct answer.

The word you are looking for today is another way to describe something like a pitch or a long but quick speech designed to convince someone or persuade an audience.

Each day Wordle shows five boxes in six columns, 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.

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).
