Today's Wordle #305 Provides Some Relief for Players

Today's Wordle is relatively straightforward, with no major tricks or clues needed to solve today's puzzle. After a rough puzzle yesterday that broke many players' streaks, the New York Times has provided players with a much easier puzzle to solve today. 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? Today's Wordle features a pretty straightforward answer with no twists or traps to speak of. The word is made up almost entirely of common letters, with very few alternative options to choose from once players figure out at least four of the letters (and assuming they've eliminated at least a few letters with their initial guesses.)
