Today's Wordle spent most of its time as a bit of a mystery. Fortunately, I dared to make a "useless" guess, effectively confirming/removing the five letters I had not yet tried, and the newly narrowed results led me to the correct answer.

Today's answer can be used when someone adopts a new style, tone, attitude, or someone else's way of doing things. The word can also describe the act of permanently welcoming an often unrelated child as a new member of the family. There are two vowels to be found 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 one, like a newspaper crossword, and just come back to it later if you come up blank.

Here's to another victory: the answer to the January 17 (577) Wordle is ADOPT.

The more past Wordle answers you can remember, 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 within 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 six times in all, and you can only use actual words (so you can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Remember that letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
