Just scroll down to find the July 4 (1111) Wordle clue. Still stuck? The answer to today's game can be found a little further down this page.

After my second guess, only two gray gaps remained, and today's Wordle was over as soon as it began. Is it over already? Seriously, what do you mean we have to wait until tomorrow?

Today's Wordle is all about firsts, especially for creatives and performers. An artist's first solo show, a theater's opening night, a singer's XX album. There are no repeating characters in this Wordle.

There are no double letters.

If you are new to daily Wordle puzzles, or if you just want to take a break and refresh yourself for a while, let me give you a quick tip to help you win. Nothing makes the rest of your day better than a small victory.

There is no timer. If you get stuck, there's no shame in going back to the puzzle later that day and finishing it when your head is clear.

"I need some help" Wordle's answer for July 4 (1111) is "DEBUT".

Keeping track of past Wordle answers can help eliminate current possibilities. It is also useful for inspiring opening words and subsequent guesses if you are short on ideas for the day.

Here are the last 10 Wordle answers:

Wordle displays five boxes in six columns each day, where the goal is to figure out the correct five-letter word by entering a guess and deleting or checking the individual letters.

Getting a good start on a strong word like ARISE, i.e., one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters, is a good tactic; pressing Enter will display the correct or incorrect answer in the box. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means the letter is not in the secret word at all. A 🟨 means the letter is in the word but not in that position. 🟩 means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second guess should complement the starting word, using another "good" word to cover the common letter missed last time, while avoiding the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer. With any luck, a few colored squares will be created and you will be on the right track.

Then it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct words. You can try a total of 6 times, and you can only use actual words (you cannot fill in the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can 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; 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.
