The green and yellow in front of me told me. For an embarrassingly long time, I couldn't see the answer to today's question, but I could taste the relief when everything finally worked out.

Today's puzzle has several equally valid meanings. One is the alternative meaning of crouching, the state of bending one's legs and bringing one's body close to the ground but not on it. Another is to take up residence in a building without the owner's permission. The word can also describe someone or something that is short and wide, often visually unappealing.

There are no repeated letters in today's vocabulary book.

A good start can make the difference between winning or losing a daily puzzle. There is nothing like a small victory to make the rest of your day more fulfilling:

There is no race against time in Wordle, so there is no need to rush through the answers. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword is also a good way to go. Going away for a while may be the difference between winning and losing.

Some days the guessing isn't good enough; the Wordle answer for March 3 (622) is SQUAT.

Past Wordle answers give great ideas for fun starting words to keep your daily puzzle solving fresh. It is also a good way to eliminate guesswork for today's Wordle, since the same answers are unlikely to be repeated.

Here are some recent Wordle answers:

Wordle offers five boxes in six columns each day, so to keep the winning streak going, you need to find the secret five-letter word hidden in them.

You should start with a strong word like ARISE (open in a new tab) or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You also do not want to start a word with repeated letters. Pressing the Enter key will tell you which one is right or wrong, because you will waste the chance to delete or check the extra letters. If the box goes to ⬛️, that means the character is not in the secret word at all. If the box turns out to be , it means that the letter is in the word, but not in that position.

The second guess will have to complement the starting word, using another "good" word to cover the common letter missed in the previous guess, while avoiding the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer. With 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 words. You can try six times in all, and you can only use actual words (you cannot fill in 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. The word puzzle game has since spawned a large number of games like Wordle (opens in new tab), concentrating the 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 (opens in new tab). Indeed, it will only be a matter of time before we will all be communicating in tricolored boxes.
