Three times today I was sure my next guess would be correct, but the first two times I was wrong in different ways. Even though the game was longer as a result, it was still a fun game, as I felt like I had followed the letter-shaped breadcrumbs to the answer.

Technically, today's answer could refer to any kind of sound, but the term is generally used for anything irritating, offensive, or excessively loud.

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

Playing Wordle well is like winning a small victory every day:

There is no time pressure. It doesn't hurt to come back later if you struggle to find an answer or find a tactical word for your next guess.

Here's your next win: the answer to the November 1 (865) wordle is "NOISE."

Knowing the answers to past wordls helps to eliminate the possibility of the present. Since the same word is unlikely to be repeated, you can find clues to guess or find words 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 the letter is not in the secret word at all. A ? 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, you should compliment the starting word, using another "good" guess to cover the common letter you missed last time, while avoiding the letter you now know for sure is not present in today's answer. Then 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.
