I may have stumbled a bit on today's Wordle... Don't worry, you can find the answers to the puzzles from July 14 (755) by scrolling or clicking on them.

This one hurt. Halfway through the board, all I had was a pair of useless greens and an idea. I made a list of all the remaining letters and worked backwards from there to list the likely candidates.

Traditionally, today's answer is another way of saying some sort of demon, evil spirit, or someone equally bad enough to be considered. But it can also refer to someone who is very passionate about something and cannot get enough of it. There are two different vowels here.

No letter is used twice in today's puzzle.

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.

Wordle alone is dangerous; Wordle's answer for July 14 (755) is FIEND.

Past Wordle answers give great ideas for fun starting words to keep the daily puzzle solving fresh. It is also a good way to eliminate guesswork for today's Wordle, since its answer is 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 strong words like ARISE or other words that have a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You also do not want to start with words that begin with repeated letters, as this wastes the chance to delete or check for extra letters; pressing Enter will tell you which ones are right or wrong. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means that the character is not in the secret word.

The second guess should complement the starting word, using another "good" word to cover the common letters you missed in the previous guess, while avoiding the letters you now know for sure are 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).

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 provided tremendous inspiration for games like Wordle, 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 will only be a matter of time before we all start communicating in tricolor boxes.
