When I found today's answer, a huge wave of relief washed over me. After a series of puzzling non-starts and some rather strange greens, I had almost given up hope of finishing today's Wordle with a win.

Yes, one letter is used three times 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.

The best start to the weekend is a win; the answer to the June 3 (714) Wordle is "NANNY."

The more you stuff your memory bank with past Wordle answers, the more likely you are to be able to guess today's Wordle answer without accidentally choosing an already existing answer. 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 shows 5 boxes in 6 columns each day.

You want to start with a strong word like ALERT, which contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters; 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 time, as a complement to the first, another "good" word is used 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).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who liked word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has spawned a slew of Wordle-like games, focusing 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 sum. Indeed, it would only be a matter of time before we would be communicating solely through tricolored boxes.
