Whether you’re trying Wordle for the first time or you’re a regular player struggling with today’s puzzle, Newsweek has your back.

World is the New York Times‘ most popular word game, followed closely by the beloved game Connections.

The newspaper bought it from Josh Wardle in January 2022, after it garnered 2 million players in just four months.

Newsweek has compiled hints, tips and the final answer for today’s game—so keep scrolling if you’re in a rut and be careful if you’re trying to avoid spoilers.

But first, let’s recap on how to play.

How to Play Wordle

The point of the game to guess the correct five-letter word. As you enter a letter into a block, its color will change.

Green means it is the right letter in the right place, gray means the letter is not included in the word at all and yellow means you have the right letter, but in the wrong place.

You have six guesses in total.

Tips on Where to Start

Players have told the New York Times that one way to begin is to start each puzzle with the same word every time.

This gives you a foundation to start off from and the results will hopefully give you a clue on your next stop.

But a different player, author John Green, has a completely different strategy, using an entirely new word every time he plays the game.

Green told the newspaper: “I know this is not the ideal strategy, or even a good one, but I like it. I usually get it in four, which is perfect for me because the stress of the fifth and sixth guess is almost unbearable.”

Other tips include starting with a word that has a lot of vowels—like “audio” or “canoe” and trying out two very different words for the first two lines to cover all bases.
