Friday is finally here—and so is another Wordle puzzle.
If you need help figuring out today’s answer, you’ve come to the right place, as Newsweek has put together five hints to help you figure it out. Be careful if you want to figure it out yourself, as further down lies the answer.
Created by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle, the word-based puzzle quickly captured global attention once it was released to the public. Wordle grew rapidly, expanding from 91 players in November 2021 to over 2 million by January 2022. This remarkable success caught the eye of The New York Times, which purchased the game for an undisclosed seven-figure sum in January 2022.
If you’ve never played Wordle before, players have six chances to guess the daily five-letter word, and feedback is given to help nail it down. A green box indicates that the letter was guessed in the correct place, a yellow box indicates you’ve guessed a letter that’s in the word, though not in the right spot, and a gray box indicates the letter is not in today’s word.
A new word appears at midnight in players’ respective time zones, but if one game a day is not enough for you, The New York Times now allows subscribers access to more than 1,000 past puzzles from the official Wordle archive on the web and in the NYT Games app.

“We are thrilled to unlock the official Wordle archive for our subscribers,” Jonathan Knight, head of games at The New York Times, said in May.
“This expansion is not just about playing past puzzles; it’s about deepening the connection our community has with Wordle and with each other.”
