For those who somehow have missed out on the Wordle craze so far, the rules of the game are simple: players have six tries to guess a five letter word. Players receive clues based on which letters their guess shares with the correct word. A letter shaded in yellow means that letter also appears in the correct word, but in a different letter location. A letter shaded in green means that letter appears in the same spot in the correct word.
On average, it takes Wordle players about 4 tries to correctly guess a daily puzzle, although a few puzzles can be significantly trickier. The past week has featured a number of tough puzzles,ย with FOUND breaking streaks due to sharing a 4-letter word ending with several other words,ย and NYMPH eluding players due to its lack of a traditional vowel.ย
So, what about today’s Wordle? Well, today’s puzzle is tricky is because it contains three common letters in the middle word bracketed by two uncommon letters. If that’s not hard enough, there are also multiple other words that all contain the same three middle letters but use other uncommon letters as the first and last letters. From what we’ve seen on Twitter, there are more than a few people who were able to get those middle three letters in a few tries, but couldn’t get the last two letters.ย
