Frustrating. I found two incredibly awkward greens in my first guess, and instead of helping me find the answer, it upset the balance of my entire thought process. One game's worth of feeble attempts to fit the letters around them did not work for me. Still, tomorrow is another Wordle day.

This word is a tall plant that grows large quantities of sweet yellow seeds that can be cooked or made into oil or flour. Today's answer is corn.

There are no repeated letters in today's wordle.

Playing Wordle well is like winning a small victory every day:

There is no time pressure. If you struggle to find the answer or find the tactical word for your next guess, it doesn't hurt to come back to it later.

Keep the winning streak going; the answer to the January 25 (585) wordle is "MAIZE."

Knowing the answers to past wordls helps to rule out current possibilities. The same word is unlikely to be repeated, which can give you clues for guessing or finding a word you don't know.

Wordle gives you six columns of five boxes each day, and your job is to eliminate or check which five-letter word is hidden and which letter it contains.

You may want to start with a strong word (opens in a new tab) such as LEASH (contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters) Press Enter and the box will show correct or incorrect. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means the letter is not in the secret word. means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time around, you will need to compliment the starting word, using another "good" guess to cover the common letter you missed last time, while avoiding the letter you now know for sure is not present in today's answer. After that, you simply 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 can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
