Keep the Wordle (opens in new tab) winning streak going over the weekend. Also, please use the Wordle hints from February 4 (595) to get you going in the right direction.

I made yellow after yellow. Luckily, I was able to take advantage of one last guess.

Today's answer refers to a room or area that lacks light. This could either mean that there was a light source but it was switched off, or there was no light at all. Two vowels are needed today.

No, there are no double letters in today's puzzle.

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

There is no pressure to complete it by midnight. So you can treat this game as something as casual as a newspaper crossword and come back to it later if you come up blank.

Weekends are for winning; the answer to the February 4 (595) Wordle is UNLIT.

If you memorize many past Wordle answers, you are more likely to be able 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.

The second time complements the first by using another "good" word to cover the common letter missed the last time, while at the same time trying to avoid the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer.

Then it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. In all, you can try six 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 may be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was invented by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab) as a surprise for his partner, who liked word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. This word puzzle game then became a tremendous inspiration for games like Wordle (opens in new tab), which focused its 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!
