Wordle started to come together for me when I made my third guess today. That's when some key greens finally appeared, and they gave me enough word forms to make a meaningful guess. Still, we nearly stumbled in the second half, but at least we squeaked by with a win.

Today's answer would normally be used to talk about picking something up and moving it from one place to another, but it could also refer to the number of people a vehicle can carry at one time, or in a game, a disproportionate effort to drag one team member to the goal line. Today there are repeated consonants.

If there is anything better than playing Wordle, it is playing Wordle well:

Everyone needs a little help from time to time; the Wordle answer for October 27 (495) is CARRY.

Wordle presents five boxes in six columns each day, and it's up to you which secret five-letter word is hidden within.

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).
