Knowing past Wordle answers helps rule out the possibility of the present. The same word is unlikely to be repeated, which can give you a clue to guess or find a word you don't know.

Here are some recent Wordle solutions:

Wordle gives you six columns of five boxes each day, and your job is to eliminate or identify which five-letter word is hidden and which letter it contains.

You should start with strong words such as LEASH, i.e., words that contain multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters; pressing Enter will show you the correct or incorrect letter in the box. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means that 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.

On the second attempt, you will need to compliment the starting word, using another "good" guess to cover the common letters you missed last time, while avoiding the letters you now know for sure are not present in today's answer. After that, you simply use what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try six times in all, and you can only use real words (so you can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who loved 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, and 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.
