I had a real roller coaster of emotions today. The good news is that I was just one letter off and if it wasn't it had to be this.

The word you need to find today is used to describe something or someone in terms of being serious, uptight, reserved, boring, and overly restrictive. A beige carpet that should not be walked on. Common-sense shoes. An elderly relative who thinks it is boorish to put cookies in tea. To solve this problem, you need to find two vowels.

There are no repeated letters in today's wordle.

If you are new to daily wordle puzzles, or if you have been absent for a while and need a refresher, let me give you a quick tip to help you win. Nothing makes the rest of your day more fulfilling than a small victory.

There is no timer. If you get stuck, there is no shame in going back to the puzzle later that day and completing it when your head is clear.

Here's the word you've been looking for: the answer to the March 23 (642) wordle is STAID.

Keeping track of the last handful of answers to the wordle will help you eliminate the current possibilities. It is also useful for inspiring opening words and subsequent guesses if you are short on ideas for the day.

Here are the last 10 answers in Wordle:

Wordle displays five boxes in six columns each day, where the goal is to figure out the correct five-letter word by entering a guess and deleting or checking the individual letters.

Getting a good start on a strong word like ARISE (open in new tab), i.e. one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repetitive letters, is a good tactic; pressing Enter will display the correct or incorrect answer in the box. 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 guess complements the starting word and uses another "good" word to cover the common letter missed 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. With any luck, a few colored squares will be created and you will be on the right track.

Then it is just a matter of using 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 (you cannot fill in the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
