Answers to past Wordle puzzles can help eliminate guesswork for today's Wordle. They also give you ideas for starting words to keep your daily puzzles fresh.

Here are the answers to the recent Wordle:

Each day you will be presented with 5 boxes in 6 columns, find the 5-letter words hidden in them and win the daily puzzle.

Start with strong words like ALIVE or words that have a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. Words that begin with repeated letters should also be avoided to avoid wasting chances to identify or delete extra letters. Type in your guess and press Enter to see which letters are correct or incorrect. If the box turns out to be ⬛️, it means that the character is not in the secret word at all. A 🟨 means the character is in the word but not in its position. 🟩 means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second guess should complement the first guess and should use another "good" word to cover a common letter that may have been missed in the first line. After that, it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. In all, you can try six times, and you can only use actual words. Remember that letters can also be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who liked word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has spawned a slew of Wordle-like games, focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography, and it wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. Indeed, it would only be a matter of time before we would be communicating solely through tricolored boxes.
