Today's Wordle #298 Could Be Tough for Some Players

Wordle presents a new challenge for players as it continues its push towards its 300th puzzle. Wordle players are talking about today's puzzle, with many folks sharing their solutions online. We'll dig into today's Wordle puzzle later in the article, for those looking for some hints or clues. However, if you haven't done the puzzle yet, you may not want to scroll to the bottom of the article as we'll eventually discuss the answer.

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, with FOUND breaking streaks due to sharing a 4-letter word ending with several other words, and NYMPH eluding players due to its lack of a traditional vowel. 

So, what about today's Wordle? On the plus side, today's Wordle doesn't feature any of the traditional problems that often trip up players. There's no multiples of the same letter, nor does the answer feature a common word ending. While there are a handful of other words that have 4 letters in the same place as the answer, the solution is probably the most common word of the possible answers.
