No matter how long you have been playing Wordle or how good you think you are at the addictive puzzle, every now and again it can prove to be challenging.
Thankfully, Newsweek is here with its latest guide on how to solve Tuesday’s brainteaser.
If you have not got off to the best start with today’s puzzle, our five hints may be the perfect helping hand you need to keep your streak alive.
The popular game’s premise is simple enough; players have to follow a color system to work out a five-letter word within six guesses. Green tiles show letters that are in the word and in the correct position.
A yellow tile means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place. A gray tile means that the letter is not in the word at all.
Some players claim to have the perfect strategy while others remain determined to freestyle their attempts to solve the puzzle.
For example, some players start by entering vowel-heavy words in a bid to get off to a good start. This may prove less beneficial if the answer turns out to be a consonant-heavy word.
The game’s creator, New York-based software engineer Josh Wardle, has his own strategy and likes to spend his first few tries eliminating as much of the alphabet as he can.
